It’s not just human women who have “big aunts”. Parents who raise female dogs should know that female dogs also have “big aunts”. Every female dog will have its period around 6 months old, because at this time the puppy will start to go into heat, which is normal. So, what should you do if your dog comes to visit?

First of all, female puppies generally have menstruation once or twice a year, and each period takes one to two weeks. It mainly occurs in winter and spring.

1. It is not recommended to breed on the first menstrual period

As we all know, when a female puppy shows this kind of behavior, it means it is ready for childbirth. However, it is recommended not to rush to fertilize the puppy when it has its first menstruation. The reason is:

1. When a puppy is in estrus for the first time, its body is not very mature in all aspects.

2. Generally, puppies will not give birth to many pups after the first fertilization. The most important thing is that there may be problems with the health of the pups.

2. The most obvious signs of a puppy’s first menstruation are:

1. The puppy’s vagina will be swollen and red liquid will flow out, but the amount is not large;

2. Puppies will often clean their own private parts and clean the surrounding areas;

3. The puppy will like to be in contact with the male dog at this time.

3. What to do when your puppy is menstruating and sheds red liquid:

1. You can buy menstrual pants specially made for dogs in pet stores, and you can put them on directly.

2. If there are no conditions, you can use briefs worn by children, then cut a hole behind the puppy's tail to expose the tail, and then pad it with sanitary napkin for humans.

IV. Things to note:

1. During menstruation, puppies, like people, will have reduced resistance and less appetite. At this time, we need to pay attention: keep the puppies warm and do not let them get cold, especially when the weather suddenly becomes cold. .

2. Puppies have a long menstrual period and need nutritional supplements just like people, especially blood-rich foods. Pay attention to the cleanliness of your puppy to avoid infection of the reproductive system. You can clean it with warm water every day. Try to avoid strenuous exercise and avoid eating irritating foods.
