How long does it take for a dog to be pregnant to give birth, and what should we need? What to pay attention to?

Dog pregnancy symptoms:

Dogs do not secrete HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) when they are pregnant, so the test strips used to detect pregnancy in humans cannot be used to check whether female dogs and cats are pregnant. To confirm whether your dog or cat is pregnant, you can go to an animal hospital for an ultrasound pregnancy diagnosis. Signs of pregnancy in a female dog appear about a week after mating. The specific manifestations are: the vagina of a pregnant female dog will shrink rapidly, and pregnancy reactions such as vomiting and loss of appetite may occur at three or four weeks of pregnancy. At 20-30 days of pregnancy, the mammary glands of pregnant dogs will protrude, the breasts will swell, and the nipples will turn pink. In the fourth week after breeding, touch the location of the uterus on the female dog’s abdomen with your hands. The pregnant female dog can feel an embryo as big as an egg

How to take care of a pregnant female dog:

Days 1 to 30 are the first stage. Female dogs that have just become pregnant (within about one to two weeks) should avoid strenuous exercise, as they are prone to miscarriage! Just ensure the female dog’s usual feeding level, and do not add too much meat, eggs, nutrients and food. Because the fetus grows slowly and is very small, if you feed too much food, the nutrients will be absorbed by the female dog, which is equivalent to fattening the female dog! If you are fat and do not exercise, you are prone to dystocia!

Days 30 to 45 are the second stage, when the fetus in the female dog’s belly begins to grow! The most direct change you can feel is the female dog’s frequent urination. If you used to walk your dog once in the morning and once in the evening, you need to add one more time every day. Twice, increase the amount of exercise appropriately, so that the female dog can exercise well!

45 to 60 days is the third stage. You can clearly see that the female dog’s belly is bulging! In the last few days, you can feel the fetus rolling in the belly! Ensure that the female dog has a certain amount of exercise. If the female dog If it can’t run, take it for more walks. At this time, the female dog is like a hungry wolf, never eating enough! You need to control the amount of feeding (about 20% to 50% more than usual is enough!). If you are soft-hearted and feed too much, you will harm her! The most important thing is The best thing is to control your diet properly and keep exercising!

Finally, as mentioned before, the gestation (pregnancy) cycle of dogs is: about 58-60 days for small dogs, and about 60-63 days for large dogs. Around the 55th day of pregnancy (58th day for large dogs), start measuring the dog’s rectal temperature every morning and evening and keep a record. 12-24 hours before productionSometimes there will be colostrum in the dog's nipples that can be squeezed out, and the body temperature will drop by about 1 degree.
