Friends who have raised huskies should know that nursing husky babies cannot actively look for food, and the amount of milk produced by the mother dog is not easy to estimate. So how to judge whether the husky baby is full? For novices raising huskies for the first time This is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. In response to this issue, the editor conducted a survey on several experienced pet lovers and concluded that the following phenomena can indirectly determine whether the husky baby is full and whether the female dog has sufficient milk.

​1. Mental state

When a nursing Husky baby is full and usually falls asleep peacefully and deeply, the Husky body sometimes twitches involuntarily. On the contrary, the nursing Husky baby still holds the nipple and refuses to relax after sucking the milk, or it takes a lot of effort to suck the milk, or after sucking for a while, the nipple is spit out, whining, and humping the female dog's breast randomly. If the husky baby is irritable and restless, it means that the mother dog has insufficient milk and the husky baby has not eaten enough.

​2. Test

After the nursing husky baby has finished feeding, touch the husky baby's lips to the mother dog's nipple to test it. If the husky baby ignores it, it means it is full. On the contrary, if the husky baby is still pursuing the nipple, it means it is not full.

3. Stool condition

Breastfeeding husky babies can defecate on their own only when they are 16 to 20 days old. Before this, the female dog must lick the perineum or lower abdomen of the husky baby to stimulate the husky baby to defecate. Otherwise, the husky baby will not be able to defecate and urinate. If the husky baby defecates, It is golden yellow, like thick porridge, 3 to 5 times a day, indicating that the female dog has sufficient milk and the husky baby is full. If the stool is green, mucus-like, small in amount, and frequent, it means insufficient milk, which is a sign that the husky baby is not full, because hunger accelerates intestinal peristalsis, resulting in increased stool frequency, and bile cannot be completely decomposed in the intestines, causing constipation. It is green.

4. Weight changes

If the female dog has sufficient milk and the husky baby eats and drinks enough, it will gain weight normally and develop well. If the amount of milk is insufficient, the Husky baby will not be able to eat enough, which will affect weight gain over time. Therefore, the hunger and fullness of the husky baby can also be reflected from the changes in weight.

5. Observe the ratio of sucking to swallowing

The swallowing movement of the husky baby. Observing how many times the husky baby sucks and swallows can also determine whether the milk volume is sufficient and whether the husky baby is full. Generally speaking, the Husky baby should swallow once after sucking 6 to 8 times on average. If the Husky baby sucks more and swallows less frequently (according to the above ratio), it means that the milk is insufficient and the Husky baby is not full. It needsAdd milk or other complementary foods.
