There are three stages of raising a Greyhound from birth to adulthood! You need to be patient when raising a Greyhound in these three stages, because the growth rate of a Greyhound is relatively slow in the first three months after birth. Specifically, the growth of a Greyhound after five months is The speed is relatively fast, and the shoulder height can reach about 70 cm at eight months, and the female dog can also reach 60 cm.

The first stage: The female dog has the phenomenon of scratching the ground and grasping the birth den. Breathing will also speed up. At this stage, the cervix begins to dilate. This stage lasts for about twelve to twenty-four hours.

The second stage: The female dog’s abdominal muscles will contract to expel the fetus from the cervix, vagina and outside the body. Before the fetus is expelled, the amniotic fluid bag will rupture in the vagina, allowing the amniotic fluid to flow out. The contraction of the abdomen will expel the fetus. Within about six hours, a fetus is usually passed every ten to sixty minutes, but it may take up to three hours. Most dogs are born head first, but it is normal if the hind limbs are born first. .

3 The third stage: The fastest time for the placenta to be expelled is ten minutes after the fetal dog is born, but it is normal for the placenta to be expelled after a few hours. From the contraction of the abdomen to the expulsion of all the fetal dogs, it should be completed within 24 hours . The shortest may be within one to two hours
