Usually dogs do not need help with childbirth. They have the ability to give birth by themselves. After giving birth to puppies, they will bite off the umbilical cord, tear off the fetal membrane, and lick the puppies clean. Dog childbirth is highly autonomous and can generally be completed smoothly. However, when a dog has difficulty giving birth due to physical exhaustion or a narrow birth canal, the owner needs to help in a timely manner, preferably by taking the dog to the hospital for a cesarean section. If the male dog is much larger than the female dog, or if the examination during pregnancy reveals that the fetus is too large, the likelihood of difficult childbirth will increase, so pet owners should take good care of them.

Notes for dog childbirth:

1. Provide a quiet environment. Before giving birth, the owner needs to provide a quiet and comfortable birthing environment for the dog.

2. Pay attention to observation. Observe the mother dog biting off the umbilical cord, and stop the mother dog if she has "mastitis in puppies".

3. Assisted childbirth. If there are difficulties in giving birth or the fetal membranes do not descend, the dog needs to be taken to a veterinary hospital for assisted childbirth.

4. Hygiene and cleanliness. The dog will have lochia and loose stool for more than a week after giving birth. Lochia may be black and will later become pink and sticky. Pay attention to cleaning its buttocks.

5. Nutritional supplementation. After giving birth, the dog's body is very weak. We can feed the dog with high-nutrient liquid food to supplement various nutrients and promote milk production.
