Symptoms of dogs' pregnancy and labor:

1. Nesting: When dogs are about to give birth, they become restless and start scratching and digging a nest. The mother dog becomes uneasy, constantly scratching the floor or a mat, and exhibiting nest-building behavior.

2. Loss of appetite: Dogs refuse to eat or eat only a small amount within the 24 hours before giving birth, and some may even vomit before labor.

3. Decreased body temperature: The body temperature of pregnant dogs gradually decreases as they approach labor.

4. Mucus discharge from the vulva indicates the breaking of the amniotic sac, which means the dog is about to give birth. Owners should closely observe whether the dog needs assistance.

Attention during dog labor:

1. Owners should prepare a large enough cardboard box or room for the dog, lined with dog diapers. The whelping area should be in a quiet room away from main roads, with enough space for the dog to lie down and stretch out.

2. The intervals between puppy births are generally around 20-40 minutes. Each newborn puppy must be checked for breathing.

3. After the puppies are born, the mother dog licks their anuses and urethras to promote urination and defecation. If there are too many puppies and the mother dog cannot attend to all of them, the owner can assist with wiping.

4. After labor, the mother dog should be fed glucose water and special lactation formula to ensure an adequate water supply.
