Border Collie (definite introduction) < /p>
Regardless of whether the bitch has a normal birth or a caesarean section, the bitch’s body is very weak after giving birth. At this time, not only must she take careful care, but she must also take a lot of supplements. Dog owners need to pay attention to the following issues.
1. After the birth of a female dog, the body and breasts will be stained with a lot of dirt. Use a hot wet towel to wipe them clean to keep the body surface dry.
2. It is best to feed the female dog some warm water containing milk, eggs or calcium gluconate immediately after giving birth, on the one hand to compensate for abdominal pressure and on the other hand to promote physical recovery. Feed after 5 to 6 hours. Feed nutritious liquid feed (such as milk mixed with eggs, meat porridge, etc.) for the first few days, and gradually feed more fertile feed after 1 week.
3. Occasionally, a female dog becomes very fierce in protecting her puppies after giving birth, especially a neurotic female dog. Therefore, do not let strangers look at the puppies, let alone touch the puppies with your hands, to avoid being bitten by the mother dog, or the mother dog swallowing the puppies to protect the puppies. Once the pup phagia occurs, it is difficult to eradicate it. Dogs are generally removed.
4. Brown mucus will flow out of the birth canal in female dogs within 1 to 2 weeks after giving birth, and then gradually form a colorless transparent fluid. If the mucus flowing out is black and has a rancid smell, you should check whether its body temperature is normal and ask a veterinarian for treatment immediately.
5. Pay attention to the nursing status of the female dog. If the puppies are not breastfeeding, find out the reason and take corresponding measures immediately. Female dogs with low lactation can be fed milk or pig paw soup, fish soup or pig lung soup to reduce lactation.
6. Some female dogs have poor maternal qualities and are not willing to take care of their puppies. They must be severely scolded and forced to feed their puppies. For female dogs that don’t care about their puppies, it is recommended that you also take some measures, such as catching a puppy and making it scream. At this time, the female dog will rush to take back the puppies, which may remind her of her maternal nature after many times. nature.
7. In order to stimulate the penetration of the puppies, the female dog must lick the puppies’ buttocks with her tongue. If the female dog does not lick, you can apply cream around the puppy’s anus to encourage the female dog to lick and help the puppies eliminate meconium. .
