The female husky dog ​​is pregnant, and some dog owners are excited but also worried about whether a litter of husky puppies can be delivered naturally. Someone wrote to us asking, "Would it be possible for a female Husky to eat less to have dystocia?" Is this really the case? Can Huskies eat less to avoid dystocia? In fact, this statement is absolutely wrong.

1. There are many factors that cause dystocia in Husky dogs, generally related to the following 6 factors

1. Age. Huskies and elderly dogs bred for the first time in heat are prone to dystocia.

2. Body shape. Large and medium-sized dogs generally do not have dystocia, while small and micro-small dogs are prone to dystocia.

3. Variety. For example, Pekingese dogs, bulldogs, and Chihuahuas are prone to dystocia, while German shepherds and golden retrievers are not prone to dystocia.

4. Nutrition. Dogs with malnutrition or overnutrition are prone to dystocia

5. Length of pregnancy. The longer the pregnancy, the higher the rate of dystocia

6. Exercise. Pregnant dogs are prone to dystocia if they do not exercise.

Dystocia in female Huskies is also related to other factors, such as whether the Husky dog ​​has a history of dystocia and caesarean section, whether the dog’s birth canal is narrow or deformed, etc. But the main reasons for dystocia are still related to the above 6 points.

2. If your Husky female dog becomes thinner, you should also pay attention

Because the growth and development of Husky puppies require the mother’s supply of nutrients, mainly protein, calcium, phosphorus and other mineral elements. If the nutrients the mother dog absorbs from food are not enough to meet the nutritional needs of the fetus, the nutrients in the mother's body will be used, and the pregnant dog will become thin and lack calcium and phosphorus. The pregnant dog will suffer from calcium deficiency, weak limbs, and even paralysis.
