Birth of new life - it is always extremely pleasant. But to take part in labor - business responsible and rather difficult. To such event it is necessary to be prepared not only physically, but also morally.
It is required to you
- clean rags, scissors, boxes small size, soft rags, hot-water bottle or lamp (heat source).
Instruction
1. For a start it is necessary to know that the term of pregnancy of dogs is 62-65 days. Therefore since 60 in the afternoon, it is necessary to be extremely attentive to a condition of your alumna. It is recommended to borrow a holiday of a deadline for pregnancy and initially until puppies grow up. The fact is that dogs mothers differ for example from cats mothers in the fact that a cat never to crush the kitten, and here the dog, alas, can easily. Besides, childbirth is very difficult process. Especially if the dog gives birth the first time, she has no experience, and it will be very difficult for it to cope that can lead subsequently of puppies to death.
2. To understand that childbirth just about will begin, it is necessary to watch a dog. Approximately in 24 hours prior to childbirth at a dog the body temperature (norm of 38-39 degrees) falls. The dog becomes uneasy, tries to take cover, hide. By this time already there have to be on call clean rags, scissors, boxes of the small sizes (it is better from under footwear), soft fabric, a desk lamp or a hot-water bottle.
3. Childbirth begins allocations from a vagina of a female, dark slime appears, attempts begin after a while (or in other words fights). By this time already everything has to be ready. Perhaps, the dog will never in any you should not leave her one begin to give birth at night, but. For a dog the presence of the owner is a moral support. After the beginning of fights after a while in an opening of a vagina the fruit has to appear. At this stage of a puppy the fruit cover (bubble) surrounds. You should not pierce it at all until the head of the kid completely not to appear on a surface, otherwise the puppy will choke with near-fruit liquid. After the puppy appeared, once the dog helps with an umbilical cord. For a start it is possible to pull slightly an umbilical cord towards a fruit (but only it is very careful, not sharp movements), after a puppy there has to be an afterbirth. It is possible to suggest a dog most to gnaw through an umbilical cord, and it is possible to use scissors, having accurately cut it, having left not less than 2 cm from a puppy. It is desirable to allow a dog to eat an afterbirth, at least one of all dung. Childbirth can last from 1 hour to 2 days, depending on quantity of puppies and complexity of childbirth. Do not worry if the puppy goes legs forward - a third of puppies from a dung can be born so. In this case to remember the main thing that you should not pull a puppy and it is impossible to damage a bubble at all, otherwise chances of survival at the kid will be almost equal to zero.
4. After appearance of each puppy on light it should be rubbed off a soft, warm rag, to clean a mouth from near-fruit liquid. Sometimes it happens that the kid should be reanimated - if the fruit does not breathe, but at childbirth it moved, perhaps, it still can be saved. In that case it is necessary to do indirect massage of heart. It is quite difficult, but efforts cost the saved life. To help the kid, it is worth putting soft fabric which well warms also with a finger on a hand, to accurately pound to the kid a breast, starting thus his heart. It is also possible to try to pump out the pipette excess liquid from lungs - for this purpose to enclose in a mouth of the kid enough to terminate pipettes with in advance lowered air. If there is no liquid, the pipette can be made several "breaths" and "exhalations", i.e. to create artificial ventilation of lungs. But, unfortunately it is impossible, completely to expect that the kid will get out, however the chance nevertheless is. Further it is necessary to enclose puppies to a breast and it is obligatory to achieve that kids stuck to it. Right after childbirth, colostrum appears (most useful). Further, in 10-15 minutes, it is necessary to put the kid in the box which is in advance laid by soft fabric. After the delivery all laying should be replaced with clean rags. Boxes with cubs should be held near a female, at her in sight that she did not worry.
