The first symptom of pregnancy, still before it becomes noticeable, change in behavior of a dog is.
Instruction
1. Almost at once after fertilization the hormonal reorganization in an organism boughs begins that cannot but affect her behavior. Regardless of whether there occurred the real pregnancy or false, at a dog the character changes. She becomes quieter, begins to protect herself, avoids sharp movements, becomes less active and more "peaceful". Even the dog who rushed on relatives earlier begins to behave more carefully, does not get involved in quarrels and, especially, fights. Many owners note that their whimsical favourites, having become pregnant, become tender and appeasable, demand more often that they were ironed, try to be more time nearby. However, they can sometimes ask growl that they were left alone.
2. In one and a half-two weeks after knitting when embryos begin to be attached to uterus walls, at a dog the toxicosis can begin. Of course, she will not be able to tell you about it, but you will notice slackness, deterioration in appetite, in certain cases can, as well as at women, be observed vomiting, especially, in the mornings or after a dream. Do not try to force violently to a bough is, and here it is necessary to provide with fresh clear water during its this period surely as liquid is necessary also for amniotic waters which amount every day begins to increase.
3. To the middle of pregnancy when pigmentation of nipples already begins, becomes clear that replenishment should be expected. During this period the puppies can already press on a bladder, and the dog needs more frequent walks. To the third trimester of pregnancy usually everything passes. During this period other problem begins – the dog goes to a toilet "more" more often.
4. Pay attention that before childbirth, days for 7-10, the dog can refuse meat and even strong broth. It should not frighten you. Veterinarians consider that during this period meat should be removed in general from a diet as it can provoke an eklampsiya. If at a dog the appetite absolutely was gone or she, on the contrary, began to eat more, it is considered norm in both cases. Do not load an animal physically, reduce both time of walks, and distances which you pass. However, also at this time tries to stick to a bough itself closer to the house and a thicket to have a rest during walks. One week prior to the sorts ""four-footed future mom"" absolutely ceases to run and goes only at a slow pace.
