1. The puppy is about 45 days from birth to weaning. During this period, the main attention: keep warm, prevent pressure, and eat enough colostrum. (Newborn puppies cannot produce antibodies in their bodies, so try to eat as much colostrum as possible.)

two. Pay attention to development. It is best to weigh regularly. Generally, within 5 days after the puppy is born, the average daily weight gain is about 50 grams, and in 6 to 10 days, the daily weight gain is about 70 grams. After 11 days, if the breast milk is insufficient, the puppy's weight will increase The growth rate may decrease, and regular weighing can be used to understand the mother's lactation ability from the change in weight, so as to decide whether to artificially supplement the milk. Nursing: Fresh milk or goat milk is the main ingredient. After being sterilized by boiling, it should be fed with a feeding bottle at a temperature of 20-30 degrees Celsius. Milk supplementation: within 15 days, each milk supplement is 50ml. 15-20 days to supplement 100 ml of milk. After 20 days, supplement milk with 200 ml. 3-4 times a day. (If there is no fresh milk, milk powder can be used instead.)

Three, after the puppy is born: In the first 4 days after birth, check frequently, be careful that the mother dog crushes the puppy. After 5 days, when the weather is warm and windy, take the puppy outdoors and bask in the sun with the dog mother, usually twice a day, about half an hour each time. Make it to breathe fresh air, use the ultraviolet rays in the sun, kill the bacteria on the body, and promote the development of bones, so as to avoid getting sick. When you can walk, you can go outside for a walk, starting with a short time and gradually lengthening it later. A puppy can only open its eyes about 13 days after birth. At this time, it is necessary to avoid strong light stimulation to avoid damage to the puppy's eyes. After 9-12 days of eye opening, milk can be poured into a food tray for licking. (Some puppies will not lick their own eyes even though they have opened their eyes.)About 20 days, a small amount of rice soup and porridge can be added to the milk. After 20 days, in fine weather, let the mother dog take the puppy to the yard (provided you have a yard) for activities. The time is not limited, and you can return to the room at night or on rainy days. If the puppy gets wet from the rain, dry it immediately with a dry towel. Pay attention to keep warm to prevent colds. The puppy's toenails can be trimmed once every 20 days to prevent the puppy from scratching the mother dog's breast while feeding. After 25 days, you can add some broth and vegetable soup, and the amount can be gradually increased to about 200ml. After 30 days, you can add ground cooked meat, 15-20 grams each time. After 35 days, the amount can be increased. At 30 days, deworm the puppy with deworming medicine, and then deworm once a month. Generally 1 and a half months - 2 months weaning.

Note: Milk, eggs, minced meat and pasta or rice can be mixed together to form semi-solid food, and appropriate amount of fish liver oil and bone meal can be added. 4-5 times a day.

Note again: The puppy is easy to get dirty things on it. At first, the mother dog will lick it off at any time, but it doesn't matter when it is older. Someone needs to wipe and bathe them frequently, once every 2-3 days. .
