Babies are born and need special care. The same applies to the birth of dogs. Newborn dogs grow and develop very quickly and require high amounts of nutrients. Parents must take careful care of them.
Papillon Dog (confirmed introduction)
From birth to weaning (45 days of age arrangement) The puppies are called pups. Puppies open their eyes between 12 and 15 days after birth and have poor movement ability, but they grow faster and have higher nutritional needs. Therefore, raising puppies should do the following things well.
Eat colostrum immediately: The milk penetrated by the female dog within one week after giving birth is colostrum. Colostrum is rich in R-globulin, which can enhance the disease resistance of puppies. The stomach of a puppy has a digestive function 5 hours after birth. Therefore, the puppy must eat colostrum within 12 to 48 hours after birth. Fortunately, colostrum can be eaten 6 hours after birth. Under normal circumstances, the female dog's colostrum can be enough for the puppies to eat. If artificial feeding is required, feed it every 3 hours in the first week; feed it every 4 hours in the 2nd to 3rd weeks: since 20 days, Feed every 6 hours. The artificial milk formula is: 1 egg, 300 grams of concentrated bone and blood soup, excess baby cake powder, 200 ml of fresh milk, mix and cook, add 1 gram of lysine, 0.6 grams of methionine, and 2 grams of fast fat after cooling. , excessive salt (0.5%), gauze filter.
Artificial supplementary feeding: The bitch’s milk production begins to decrease 20 days after giving birth. General supplementary feeding starts from a few days after birth. Feed fresh milk, rice, and meat every day. About 100 ml of milk per day, with the milk temperature between 27℃ and 30℃, should be fed in 3 to 4 times. After 20 days of age, feed 200 ml of milk every day. You can also refer to the supplement formula below: 500 grams of lean meat or offal (minced), 3 eggs, 300 grams of cornmeal, 300 grams of flour, 500 grams of vegetables (chopped), excess growth hormone, 4 grams of salt, mix well Add water to dry steamed buns. When feeding, add 5 grams of lysine, 3 grams of methionine, 10 grams of fast fat, and an appropriate amount of multivitamins. Sprinkle it on the cold steamed bun head, and add a little bone and blood soup for the puppies to lick.
Artificial feeding: When breast milk is insufficient, artificial feeding should be carried out immediately with milk or milk powder. Because dog milk is thicker than milk, feeding milk alone is not nutritious. You need to add some milk powder to the milk to feed the puppies. In addition to sacrificing the female dog, the newborn puppies must be given colostrum to enhance their disease resistance and improve theirSurvival rate.
Artificial breastfeeding method: Within 10 days after birth, the daily feeding volume of puppies is about 100 ml. The equipment can be replaced by a baby feeding bottle, and the puppy is fed 4 to 6 times a day. After opening its eyes, let it practice feeding skills, feed it with a plate, and let it lick food. From 10 to 20 days after birth, the amount of milk supplement should be about 300 ml. For 25 days, the puppies were trained to eat porridge-like food by themselves. After about 45 days, you can completely stop breastfeeding and eat porridge-like food.
Fostering: This method is suitable for situations where the bitch has given birth to too many litters, the bitch has been sacrificed after giving birth, and the bitch has little or no milk after giving birth. At this time, let the other nanny dogs (nanny dogs) feed the puppies. This method is more beneficial to the growth and development of puppies than artificial feeding. However, the delivery time requirements for the second litter of dogs are close to each other, the breed sizes are basically the same, and the average age does not exceed 3 days.
In the lactation method, the female dog identifies her puppies through the smell of the puppies. Before lactating, she first applies the milk or feces dilute of the nanny dog to the foster puppies. A little more, let it wear the scent of the nanny dog, so that it can be easily handed over by the nanny dog.
