What should British Foxhounds eat after giving birth? What should we pay attention to? I believe that poop shovelers also have a little knowledge of this, so the following editor will share with you an introduction to the diet of British Foxhounds after giving birth.

Introduction to English Foxhound diet after giving birth:

1. After the female English Foxhound gives birth, she should be given some glucose water, milk and light salt water. Adequate drinking water and a small amount of meat should be provided 1-2 days after delivery, and the amount of meat should be gradually increased after 3-4 days. In addition to increasing meat for 5-6 days, the number of meals per day can be increased to 3-4/day, and clean drinking water should be maintained at all times; pay attention to the supplement of vitamins and trace elements, and exercise appropriately.

2. Some dogs eat very little within 1-3 days after delivery, which is normal, but it must be distinguished from the disease at this time. It is also common to eat less within 1-3 days.

3. After giving birth, the mother enters the stage of involution of the uterus and discharge of lochia. Lochia in female dogs is dark red, and within 12 hours after delivery, it can turn into blood-like secretions with increasing quantity. After 2-3 weeks, it will turn into mucus-like secretions. After about 4 weeks, the uterus will complete its involution and stop discharge of lochia.

4. The first estrus does not appear until 5-6 weeks after delivery. During the delivery and lactation stages of English Foxhound bitches, it is best not to bathe the bitch, especially within a few weeks after delivery. Because the stimulation of bathing may lead to the occurrence of dysgalactia in female dogs, be careful to avoid stimulation from other drinking factors. The food at this time should be nutritious and balanced, and pay attention to the guarantee of protein, vitamins, and trace elements.

5. The English Foxhound is also relatively weak after giving birth. You can prepare a more comfortable box or kennel for it to provide a quiet environment and shelter from the wind so that the English Foxhound can have a good rest.
