What are the symptoms before the birth of a Chihuahua? I believe that many friends who raise Chihuahuas will be at a loss when their own Chihuahua is born. It doesn’t matter. Today, the editor will give you some knowledge about the symptoms before the birth of a Chihuahua and postpartum care and other related knowledge.

Symptoms of Chihuahua before giving birth:

1. The female Chihuahua began to feel restless, constantly grabbing the floor and mats with her front feet, making nest-building movements.

2. Most female Chihuahua dogs stop eating within 24 hours before giving birth, or only choose a small amount of their favorite food to eat. Some will vomit slightly before giving birth.

3. Generally, starting from the day of giving birth to a Chihuahua, the body temperature of the female dog will gradually decrease. The closer to the birth, the lower it will be. It may drop to about 36°C 24 hours before birth.

4. Frequent excretion, soft stools, etc. Moreover, the body temperature of the female dog decreases, and the closer it is to giving birth, the lower it will be.

5. The belly is distended and the mammary glands are swollen to secrete colostrum.

6. In terms of behavior, Chihuahua female dogs will make movements like wanting to make a nest, chewing old clothes or toys, etc.

Things to note when producing Chihuahuas:

1. The place where the dog gives birth should be dark and not bright, so as to avoid the excitement of the female dog. There should be no noise around, and it is strictly forbidden for many people to watch, otherwise the bitch will be overly nervous and cause dystocia.

2. Pay attention to the biting action of the female dog to cut off the umbilical cord. If you find that the female dog has "puppy eating ringworm", you should stop it in time.

3. It is normal for female dogs to eat the placenta after giving birth. It has a lactation effect, but eating too much can cause gastrointestinal digestive disorders. Generally, you can eat 2 to 3 pieces.

4. When a pregnant dog has flowed out a large amount of thin liquid from the vagina for several hours, or when the fetus cannot be fully delivered after 10 minutes of exposure to the vagina, it means that the female dog has dystocia. At this time, assisted delivery or caesarean section is required.

5. After delivery, if there is still a lot of bright red excrement flowing out of the vagina, it indicates that there may be heavy bleeding in the birth canal. The vagina should be blocked with absorbent cotton immediately and sent to a veterinary clinic for treatment.
