In the past, the bitch was the whole process of pregnancy and delivery of a bitch, and few people helped him. Now, scientific dog raising has been widely recognized by the people. The pregnancy process of dogs is relatively short for humans. It will be a shorter than that of two months. So what signs will the dog have before giving birth to remind the owner to give birth?
The female dog undergoes a series of changes in physiological morphology and behavior before delivery. Within 2 weeks before delivery, the breasts develop rapidly, expand, and the glands are full. Two days before delivery, a small amount of clear liquid or colostrum can be squeezed out of the nipples. A few days before delivery, the labia gradually became soft, swollen and congested, the folds on the labia skin flattened, and the skin became slightly red; the vaginal mucosa was flushed; the pelvic ligaments became soft and loose, the supra ligaments and condylar ligaments also became soft; the buttocks were obviously collapsed.
24 to 36 hours before delivery, the female dog's appetite decreased greatly or even stopped eating, had thin stools, and was impatient. She kept using her forelimbs to peel off the ground, especially for first-born female dogs, which showed more obvious symptoms.
What are the signs of golden retriever dogs before delivery? 3 to 10 hours before delivery, labor pain begins to occur. The female dog sits and lie down and lie down, breathes faster, pants, moan or scream, grabs the ground, and urinates more frequently. If mucus flows out of the vagina, it means that she will give birth within a few hours. Usually, labor is often in the early morning or evening, and special attention should be paid during these two periods.
The time of delivery can be seen from the change in the body temperature of the female dog. 3 to 4 days before delivery, the dog's body temperature drops from the normal 38 to 39 degrees Celsius to 36.5 to 37.5 degrees Celsius, and the delivery will be about to occur when the body temperature rises.
For bitches who have given birth to dogs before, they are more experienced and generally do not need their owners to worry about it. For dogs who have given birth for the first time, it is best to have a safe and secure midwifery.
