What you need to prepare before delivery is: the "delivery room" is placed with a shallow and wide thick carton, with old clothes or old cotton pads and newspapers, and close the doors and windows to prevent colds during production. It is best to stay away from the door of the delivery room. You should choose the quietest place in your home. At the same time, you should consider that it may produce at night. Prepare a 20-watt radiator lamp to lighting, and find a small carton insulation box for the soon-to-be-born dog. A soft towel can be placed inside and a thermos can maintain the temperature. Also needed are scissors, thread tips and hot towels. All these things should be disinfected before delivery and reserved.
Dog delivery
(1) Delivery time: Usually, delivery is mostly in the early morning or at night. The length of delivery varies depending on the number of births and the physical fitness of the bitch. Generally, 3 to 4 hours, the interval between each fetus is 10 to 30 minutes. Under normal circumstances, bitches will instinctively handle everything properly, especially some native dogs. There are very few problems with childbirth, but some expensive dogs and breeding dogs have poor instincts and require help from others. Therefore, during childbirth, someone should watch and deal with problems in a timely manner when they find them. The first fetus can produce smoothly, and other fetuses generally do not have difficult labor.
(2) Production process: Dogs who have first childbirth may still be ignorant. The main symptom before delivery is constant urination, very irritable, and scratching the wall. The body temperature suddenly dropped. Dog mothers often take a lateral lie on their backs during childbirth, constantly reviewing their abdomen, causing thrust, moaning, breathing faster, and then stretching their hind legs. At this time, you can see thin liquid flowing out of the vagina first, and then the follicles are exposed to the first child's birth.
At this time, the fetus is still wrapped in the fetal membrane. The first dog is born. You can help the dog mother cut off the umbilical cord, quickly cut the seborrhea, and take out the puppy. At this time, you must move the puppy's mouth away and shake it hard, and stop when you hear the little guy's scream. The purpose is to bring out the amniotic fluid in the dog's mouth to prevent blocking the respiratory tract and causing suffocation and death. Give the dog a maximum of three cut out of the exocardium, otherwise it will cause indigestion. Tie the umbilical cord with the thread and tighten it close to the belly, and it will fall within three to five days.
It is best not to take a bath after the dog is 1 month pregnant to avoid dysfunction or birth canal inflammation. Remember. You can wipe it with a wet towel and pay attention to the cleaning below. Xiaoxue's hair is best to combed once a day, because it is not bathed, so it is easy to tie knots, and some tubes will be tamped directly, which is also OK. Pay attention to the first three days after the puppy is born. Be careful of being pressed. Make sure that the little guy drinks the first sip of milk from the dog mother within 3 hours of his birth. This is the first line of defense for the baby to survive!
