How can I prevent my newborn puppies from dying?
Generally, two Weeks are a dangerous period for a baby. During this period, dog owners must take care of their little dogs.
Babies usually open their eyes at 14 to 18 days. But in the first two weeks, the puppies still live in the same place with the mother dog every day. All dog owners must pay special attention to the condition of the puppies in the cage.

For 2 weeks after the puppy is born, the dog owner should observe the dog's condition every 2 hours. If it is not necessary, the dog owner should not take the puppies out to play or go to the animal hospital, because the animal hospital is also a public place, and the number of germs is very large. Unless the dog does not eat or drink, there is no need to take the newly born puppy out of the house. .
