In fact, many times dog pregnancy and birth do not require human participation, but sometimes we still need to do some things. After the dog gives birth, the owner should do a good job in cleaning the farrowing house to prevent postpartum infection of the female dog. Similarly, when puppies are just born, we need to prevent the puppies from suspended animation.

Pregnant dogs usually give birth between midnight and dawn. Sometimes it takes a long time from the first birth to the last birth. Generally, after the first baby is born, the second baby is born 15-20 minutes later, and the third baby is born 20 minutes later... It often takes half a day from the first birth to the last birth, sometimes longer. Therefore, the bedding and bedding should be replaced after delivery.

Pregnant dogs toss and turn around in their sleeping area, bending their backs and enlarging their abdomens. And start to exert force, this is labor pain. The so-called labor pain means that it hurts for a few minutes and stops for a few minutes. Soon the bitch will lick her vagina, which is called water breaking. When the water breaks, the amniotic fluid, which is surrounded by a white-yellow membrane (amniotic membrane), will flow out of the vagina like a balloon. At this time, you should quickly rupture the amniotic membrane on the head of the fetus, and use gauze to wipe the moisture on the nose and mouth so that the puppy can breathe. At this time, it should be noted that puppies are born in a state of suspended animation. If left alone, they will become stillborn.

The so-called state of suspended animation is when a dog is born breathing and having a very weak pulse. Like dead. The puppy in suspended animation should be moved to the heater as soon as possible, and the mucous membrane blocking the puppy's nostrils should be carefully wiped off with absorbent cotton dipped in alcohol, and then the body should be gently rubbed and artificial respiration should be performed. Soon the puppy will regain its breath. After waking up, bring it to the mother dog to suck breast milk (the mother dog's breasts have swollen by this time).

When the puppies are born, they come with the afterbirth. The mother dog will eat the afterbirth immediately. The afterbirth is the mother dog’s own thing, so it doesn’t matter if she eats it. The female dog gives birth to one child after another, eating the afterbirth again and again, biting off the umbilical cord so that the puppies can suck milk. When a dog gives birth, it requires little assistance from people. Female dogs will also eat the excrement during delivery, but eating too much is not good, so the remaining part should be taken away in the later stages of delivery.

After a female dog gives birth to puppies, she will slowly get up after 4-5 hours and go outside to relieve herself. At this time, the bedding must be re-bedded to make the delivery room clean. After a short walk, the female dog's physical condition will improve, a large amount of milk will flow out, and her physical strength will quickly recover from fatigue.
