Czech Terrier prenatal signs include physical changes

The body temperature of a female dog usually begins to drop two or three days before giving birth. When the body temperature begins to rise, it indicates that the birth is imminent. In the two weeks before delivery, the female dog's breasts become larger and the mammary glands are fuller. Two days before delivery, a small amount of milk can be squeezed out from the nipples. The day before delivery, the female dog's appetite decreased greatly, and she even stopped eating. She acted impatiently and often scratched the ground with her paws. 1-2 days before giving birth, mucus will flow out of the Czech Terrier's vagina, which means that the baby is about to give birth. On the day of delivery, the Maltese dog almost no longer eats and only drinks water occasionally (pay attention to the observation)

Prenatal signs of Czech Terrier include irritable temperament

3-10 hours before delivery, the female dog begins to have labor pains and sits down. Restlessness, frequent yawning, increased urination, scratching at the mat, shortness of breath, mouth opening to scream or moan. The vulva is swollen and if there is mucus coming out, it could mean labor is coming within a few hours. Usually childbirth occurs in the early morning or late at night, so you should pay more attention during this time.

Items that Czech Terriers need to prepare before giving birth

Prepare the delivery room so that it can wait for delivery in a quiet, comfortable and undisturbed environment. Generally speaking, you can find a secluded place in your dog's usual living space, or use the dog cage it is used to living in, put wooden boards, cardboard or other things on the outside, and put old bath towels, cloth strips, etc. inside. . Since puppies need to be kept warm after they are born, electric lights or electric blankets are also indispensable equipment in the house. Newborn puppies will die immediately due to hypothermia. Prepare the thread for tying the umbilical cord. White cotton thread is preferred and the length is suitable for easy knotting. Prepare scissors for cutting armbands, which must be disinfected with alcohol cotton. Prepare sterilized gauze, which can be used to dry the puppy's body when it is born. Just keep it clean. Prepare several sheets of old newspapers to use as cushion during production and to wrap up dirt. Prepare 5% iodine and 70% alcohol for disinfection. Prepare oxytocin, hemostatic drugs and other drugs for temporary use in case of emergency during production.

Precautions when giving birth to a Czech Terrier

Delivery place: The place should be dark, and no people are allowed to watch around. It is best to have no noise, otherwise it will make the female dog difficult to give birth. Pay attention to the biting of the umbilical cord by the female dog: if you find that the female dog has "cub phagia", stop it in time. It is normal for female dogs to eat their placenta after giving birth. It has a lactation-promoting effect, but generally eating 2-3 pieces is enough. Eating too much can cause indigestion.​
