Precautions when dogs give birth

1. The owner needs to prepare a basin of warm water, an appropriate amount of towels, simple disinfection equipment, gloves and other items, and promptly Clean the female dog’s vagina and cut the puppies’ umbilical cord.

2. Prepare scissors, sterilized gauze, cotton balls, 70% alcohol, 5% iodine, 0.5% Lysol, 0.1% Xinjiang and other delivery tools. At the same time, the delivery room should be thoroughly cleaned and the cushions should be replaced.

3. Find a clean and comfortable soft box for the dog to give birth. The place should be gray. Onlookers are strictly prohibited. It is best not to make any noise, otherwise it will make the female dog difficult to give birth.

4. Prepare a hot water bag at 40 to 50 degrees. You must prepare it when giving birth to a dog in winter, because the dog’s heat preservation ability is very low, and the mother’s body temperature must be maintained before the dog is fully born.

5. Prepare a large amount of paper toilet paper or clean, highly absorbent rags. During the process of giving birth, the mother dog will bleed and body fluids will flow out, so wipe it in time.

6. If the female dog has dystocia, the owner needs to take artificial assisted delivery, such as correcting the fetal orientation of the puppies, injecting oxytocin into the female dog, and sending the dog to the hospital in time.
