Dalmatian Dog (certain introduction)
The weaning period is an important period for newborn puppies. In a relatively dangerous stage, they will develop various digestive diseases due to changes in diet, and because puppies are very fragile, even a seemingly common case of diarrhea may kill them. In order to help newborn puppies survive the weaning period safely, owners need to pay attention to the following points.
1. When to wean
Generally speaking, puppies can be weaned after 30-35 days of breastfeeding. In order to avoid gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea, constipation, and dyspepsia in puppies, owners can feed their dogs a small amount of liquid food every day before weaning to help the puppies gradually adapt to dietary changes. In the early stage of weaning, it is best for owners to soak their puppies in warm milk and feed them with dog food. This can not only protect the puppies' nutritional supply, but also give them a buffering period suitable for food changes, so that the puppies are less likely to get sick. .
2. Bathing
Many owners choose to bathe their puppies when they are weaned. If the weather is cold, the owners must do a good job of keeping warm, because A cold in puppies is a very serious matter. When the conditions are not suitable for bathing, the owner can use warm wet wipes to wipe their bodies. In addition, 1-month-old puppies are not suitable to be taken to pet hospitals for bathing. They are not ready to face the outside world. Forcibly wearing one may cause the puppies to suffer from emotional diseases such as agoraphobia.
3. Changing litters
As puppies grow up every day, the space they need for exercise will become larger and larger, and the litters will also be different. . In addition to changing the puppy to a larger nest, the owner must also pay special attention to the hygiene of the nest. When the weather is nice, bask in the nest and give the puppies a sunbath. Sunlight can not only kill bacteria on the puppies and in the litter, but also promote the development of the puppies' bones.
4. Trim and trim the toenails
After the puppies are weaned, the owners should start trimming their toenails regularly to prevent the puppies from being played in a fight. Scratch the owner, bitch, or companion.
5. Deworming and vaccination
Deworming and immunization are not the sooner the better. Whether the puppy's body is able to bear the burden is the key. Under normal circumstances, 1-month-old puppies canDeworming is carried out, and vaccination needs to wait until 2-3 months later. Premature vaccination is not good for the growth of puppies.
6. Treat them differently
Not every puppy in a litter can be healthy. For dogs, it is best for the owner to carry out artificial intervention, such as opening a small stove to supplement nutrition alone, so that the puppies will not have poor immunity and stunted development due to malnutrition.
