In fact, many times dogs do not need human participation in pregnancy and delivery, but sometimes we still need to do something. After the dog is born, the owner should do a good job in the hygiene and cleaning of the birthing house to prevent the postpartum infection of the bitch. Similarly, when puppies are just born, we need to prevent puppies from suspended animation.

The birth time of pregnant dogs is mostly from midnight to dawn. The time from the first child to the last child is sometimes long. Generally, after the first child is born, the second child will be born in 15-20 minutes, and the third child will be born in 20 minutes. . . . It usually takes half a day from the birth of the first child to the birth of the last child, and sometimes it takes longer. Therefore, the bedding and bedding should be replaced after delivery.

Pregnant dog tossing in the sleeping area, the back is curved and the abdomen is enlarged. And start to exert force, which is labor pain. The so-called labor pain is pain for a few minutes, stop for a few minutes. Soon the bitch will lick the genitals, which is called breaking the water. When the water breaks, the amniotic fluid, which is wrapped in a white-yellow membrane (amniotic membrane), flows out of the vagina like a balloon. At this time, the amniotic membrane of the fetal head should be broken as soon as possible, and the moisture on the nose and mouth should be dried with gauze so that the puppy can breathe. At this time, it should be noted that the puppy was born in a state of suspended animation, and if left alone, it will become a stillborn child.

The so-called suspended animation means that the dog is born breathing and the pulse is very weak. like dead. The puppy in suspended animation should be moved to the stove as soon as possible, and the mucous membrane blocking the puppy's nostrils should be carefully wiped off with absorbent cotton dipped in alcohol, and then gently rubbed to give artificial respiration. Soon the puppy will regain its breath, and when it wakes up, it will be brought to the bitch to suck breast milk (the bitch's breasts have expanded at this time).

When the puppy is born, it comes down together with the afterbirth, and the bitch will eat the afterbirth immediately. The afterbirth is something of the bitch itself, so it doesn't matter. The bitch also eats the afterbirth again and again, bites off the umbilical cord and makes the puppy suck the milk. When a dog is born, almost no human assistance is required. The female dog will also eat the excrement during labor, but it is not good to eat too much, so in the later stage of labor, the remaining part should be taken away.

After giving birth to the puppies, the bitch will slowly get up after 4-5 hours and go to the outside to defecate. At this time, it is necessary to re-spread the bedding grass to make the delivery room clean. After a short walk, the female dog who goes out will be in better physical condition, with a lot of milk flowing out, and the physical strength will quickly recover from fatigue.
