For pet dogs, when they enter the first estrus period, they already have the qualifications and ability to match pregnancy. However, normally, it is not recommended to pair the dogs in the first estrus, so the quality of the puppies produced will not be particularly good. Generally, for pregnant dogs, the pregnancy period is about 58-65 days, and when the female dog is pregnant, the signs of giving birth will become more and more obvious. So what preparations should parents make before the dog is about to give birth?
1. Preparation tools
For pet dogs that are about to give birth, the tools that should be prepared for the dog before the dog is about to give birth include: a few clean towels, washbasin, scissors, cotton, disinfectant, old newspapers, electric blankets, light bulbs, threads, etc. These are some tools that need to be prepared for dog production.
2. Dog's prenatal manifestations
How many symptoms do dogs have before delivery? Through these manifestations, it can be seen that the dog is about to give birth, and parents should also prepare in advance.
First, the female dog will show special restlessness and anxiety at the beginning, such as hiding in a dark corner or constantly biting things; secondly, the female dog's appetite will continue to decline, and even the dog can't eat at all, and the dog is about to give birth; from the perspective of body temperature, the closer it is to give birth, the lower the body temperature of the female dog will drop, and it will slowly drop from 38 degrees to 36 degrees or even lower, and the dog's defecation will be more frequent, etc. From the perspective of breasts, the breast will secrete colostrum, and the belly will also be swelling.
3. Prepare the production environment
After seeing that the dog is in labor, first prepare a warm large nest for the dog. It is best to use wooden materials to have good insulation effect. If there is no wooden, you can also use paper, and then place the nest in a warm and ventilated corner, and place a thick newspaper on the nest to treat it as the dog's delivery room.
4. Prepare food to supplement physical strength. During the production process, if parents do not have skillful delivery experience, they should contact a good veterinarian in a timely manner. Especially when delivery is difficult, a professional veterinarian should deliver the baby. During the birth process of dogs, there will be insufficient physical strength. At this time, you should replenish food for the dog in time, so you should prepare nutritious and easy-to-digest food in advance.
When a dog is giving birth, if the dog has not been born within an hour after a strong pain, the dog may have a difficult delivery. Therefore, the owner should contact the doctor as soon as possible, and gently press the dog's abdomen as the dog's gasp and massage the dog's breasts. This can help the dog deliver quickly.
