What symptoms will dogs have during pregnancy

Symptoms of Dog Pregnancy:

1. Early symptoms are not obvious, and pregnancy reactions appear about a week after mating. The specific manifestation is that the dog's vulva will shrink rapidly. There is a big difference in individual dogs. Some dogs may show slight vomiting, loss of appetite, and other reactions, but most dogs do not have much change compared to usual.

2. In the third to fourth week of pregnancy, there may be vomiting, loss of appetite, obvious changes in the dog's breasts, protruding mammary glands, swollen breasts, and pink nipples. The dog's food intake will gradually increase and become sluggish. In the fourth week, when touching the location of the dog's uterus with your hand, you can feel the size of the embryo like an egg.

3. When the dog is close to 60 days of pregnancy, its emotions will change significantly, appearing anxious and restless, and constantly scratching the floor, cushions, and other behaviors. The frequency of excretion becomes frequent, with soft stool and other conditions. Body temperature decreases, and the closer to delivery, the lower the temperature. There will be behaviors that indicate nesting.

Precautions for Dog Pregnancy:

1. About 15 days after mating, you can start feeding the dog folic acid tablets to prevent fetal malformations. After mating, the dog should not be bathed or dewormed temporarily. When walking the dog every day, try to avoid vigorous exercise and going up and down stairs.

2. When the dog loses its appetite, you can feed it some nutritional paste or canned dog food, in short, find a way to make the dog eat something.

3. Once it is confirmed that the dog is pregnant, we can prepare pet milk powder and calcium tablets. Because the more milk the female dog secretes after giving birth, the more nutrients are lost and need to be replenished in time.
