How to scientifically care for Dingsheng puppies?
Newborn puppies, from originally relying on direct circulation of blood from the mother's placenta to provide nutrients, to absorbing nutrients on their own, have undergone a major change in their living conditions, and their ability to adapt to the outside world has been weak. Therefore, when caring for newborn puppies, special attention should be paid to the following points:
1. Preventing umbilical cord sprains in puppies. Be careful not to drag the umbilical cord too long on puppies. Prevent the puppy from being injured, and it will fall off automatically when the time is right.
At this time, pay attention to the changes in the puppies' umbilical cord, and do not let the puppies suck each other to prevent inflammation. If the puppy's umbilical blood vessel is not fully closed and blood flows out, or the urethra is incomplete and urine flows out, it should be ligated.
2. The living environment temperature of newborn puppies. Because the body temperature of newborn puppies is relatively low, they have poor ability to regulate body temperature, and the ambient temperature has a great influence on the life activities of puppies.
Especially in cold weather, the delivery room should have heating measures to keep the room dry.
Generally speaking, the appropriate living environment temperature for puppies under 1 week old is 30~32℃; the appropriate environmental temperature for puppies 2~3 weeks old is around 27℃; The optimal environmental temperature for puppies is 23℃. (Note: For puppies with poor vitality or those rescued from suspended animation, more attention should be paid to the temperature of their living environment, and the room temperature should not be too high.
The body temperature of these puppies should be slightly higher than that of healthy puppies. Shorter ones are better. Because most of these puppies don’t have enough milk, when the room temperature is too high, the body’s moisture will penetrate more, which can easily lead to dehydration.)
3. The dog box should be a comfortable dog box. It should be done in a welcoming and comfortable manner so that the bitch can turn around and lie down easily without squeezing the puppies.
The owner should be on duty day and night and strengthen supervision. Special attention should be paid to female dogs with weak maternal instincts, first-born and neurotic female dogs.
Keep the delivery room and the surrounding environment quiet, and prevent newcomers from watching to prevent the bitch from trampling on the puppies when she is stimulated and resists biting. In the first 7 days after the puppies are born, it is best to use a litter box to separate the puppies from the mother dog and allow them to nurse on time, which can prevent the mother dog from trampling on the puppies.
Four. Pay attention to the use of sunlight to sterilize puppies. About one week after the puppies are born, you can take advantage of the good weather with wind and warm weather to take the puppies outdoors to bask in the sun with the mother dog. 2 times, every half an hour.
Dogs
Use ultraviolet rays from the sun. Kill bacteria on puppies, promote bone development, and prevent the occurrence of rickets. It is widely used The puppies will be able to open their eyes after about 2 weeks. At this time, strong light stimulation should be avoided to avoid damaging the eyes.
After 3 weeks, the mother dog can be allowed to exercise in the hospital with the puppies for any time. . Puppies’ nails can be trimmed once every 3 weeks to prevent the mother dog’s breasts from being scratched during breastfeeding.
