Irish Soft-Coated Terrier (Definite Introduction)
About the death of a female dog due to dystocia or the female dog’s milk is not enough and cannot satisfy everything. Puppy problems also often occur, so many times we have to take measures to artificially breastfeed the dog so that the dog can grow up healthily. But after all, we are responsible for breastfeeding, so there are many things we need to pay attention to during this process.
When artificially breastfeeding, it should be noted that the composition of milk and dog milk are very different. The composition of milk is low in protein, low in fat, and high in lactose, while dog milk is high in protein. It is high in quality, high in fat, and low in lactose, so it is not enough to feed only milk. Dog milk powder can now be purchased on the market. The ingredients are close to dog milk and can be used as long as it is brewed. If milk must be used, egg yolks, bone meal, etc. must be added and brewed at twice the concentration for feeding.
Before feeding, wipe the puppy's urine channel and anus with toilet paper, let it soak and dry before starting feeding. When feeding, let the puppy's two front feet rest on your palm, and gently twitch the bottle at an angle and left and right. Because puppies are used to massaging their mammary glands with their front feet when sucking milk, so that the milk can flow continuously. It should be noted that if the baby is fed on his back, once the baby is inhaled into the trachea and blocked nostrils, it will cause difficulty in breathing.
Many puppies cannot adapt to artificial breastfeeding and will suffer from diarrhea, especially if they are fed with "milk". Because dogs lack lactose, the diarrhea will be more serious. Since the reception status of each puppy is not certain, it is best to consult a doctor if the puppy is difficult to feed.
Artificial breastfeeding is not a simple matter, because both the choice of milk powder and the method of feeding are very important, and puppies are fed frequently, and many owners find it difficult to insist on it. These issues must be taken seriously.
