How can dogs be considered to have broken amniotic fluid? Amniotic fluid refers to a light yellow liquid discharged when the dog gives birth. When the uterine wall of the bitch contracts and the liquid discharged is light yellow and has a viscous condition, it can be confirmed that it is broken amniotic fluid.
Before giving birth, some liquid will flow out of the vagina. In a small amount, the mucus secreted by the vagina may be caused by the lubricating birth canal. If a large amount of liquid flows out, it is suspected that amniotic fluid flows out and is about to be born. At this time, you should immediately stay by your dog and help your dog give birth.
The amniotic fluid in dogs is dark green, which is normal because the meconium in amniotic fluid is oxidized with oxygen; some amniotic fluid also has a clear and light yellow color, which is also a normal color. The fetus is wrapped in the amniotic sac in the uterus, and there is amniotic fluid inside. Because the fetus is mature and is about to produce, the uterus contraction pressure will increase the amniotic sac and cause the amniotic fluid to rupture, which will be produced within half an hour. If the amniotic fluid flows out of the fetus and has not been produced for a long time, it is likely that the fetus will still be in the abdomen due to hypoxia.
