For newborn puppies, breast milk is the best nutrition. Whether breast milk can be successfully fed is related to the healthy growth of the puppies. Due to various reasons, female dogs may not produce enough milk or have no milk. So what is the main reason for this factor?

2. Key points for diagnosis of agalactia in female dogs:

Clinically, it can be seen that the breasts of female dogs are soft and reduced, and the milk gradually decreases, or there is no milk, or there is suddenly no milk discharge. The puppies suck milk more frequently and often bump their heads against the breasts. The puppies often bark due to hunger. Female dogs sometimes refuse to nurse because of pain.

Feed the female dog lactation syrup or lactation tablets immediately after giving birth, or try traditional Chinese medicine to induce lactation. 25 grams of Wangbuliuxing, 10 grams each of Tongcao, Gobi, and Atractylodes, and 12 grams each of white peony root, angelica root, astragalus root, and Codonopsis pilosula. Total Grind it into powder and mix it with food or decoct it in water. Don’t give up on promoting lactation just because of insufficient milk supply.
