English Cocker Spaniel (confirmed introduction)
How to care for newly born puppies? Newly born puppies Dogs cannot take care of themselves at all, so many things require our help. For example, mature puppies may not be able to find the right position when drinking milk. At this time, we need to help them, so as to prevent them from not getting enough nutrition because they cannot drink milk, which will affect their growth.
The "delivery room" should not be too small, and should be larger than the usual sleeping room to prevent the mother dog from stepping on it and the puppies from being squeezed. If you encounter a newborn puppy that is not breathing, you can turn the head upside down for a second, and squeeze the chest slightly, repeat until the amniotic fluid is spit out, and start breathing; you can also open the mouth and use sterile gauze to suck out the amniotic fluid. To achieve immediate effectiveness, mouth-to-mouth artificial breathing can be used while squeezing the chest.
Newly born puppies should pay attention to keeping warm, especially since their respiratory systems are weak and cannot easily adapt to the gradual changes in ambient temperature. The body temperature of puppies is 4°C lower than that of adult dogs, around 35°C. Because the nerves and muscles are not yet healthy, they will not tremble when exposed to cold, and it is easy to mistakenly think that they are not cold. In fact, 30% of puppies who freeze to death account for 30% of their total life span. The eyes begin to open on the 12th day, the ears unfold on the 15th, and the breathing rate accelerates. These all help to promote and maintain a higher body temperature. You can find the body temperature before looking at the moon. The temperature gradually increased, and when looking at the moon, it was close to an adult dog and began to have a trembling reaction.
Puppies are fed on breast milk when they are just born. You should always check whether each one can drink. Put the smaller puppies in the middle of the group to avoid being squeezed to drink. Not enough milk. The most noteworthy thing is that colostrum contains a variety of antibodies from the mother dog (maternal antibodies), which enables the puppies to gain disease resistance. Therefore, the puppies should be allowed to eat colostrum within 0.5 to 1 hour.
