Prenatal signs of Dachshunds:

There will be mucus flowing out of the dachshund's vagina 1-2 days before giving birth, and the body temperature of the female dog will gradually decrease, and the closer it is to giving birth, the lower it will be. If it drops to about 36°C 24 hours before giving birth, it means that she is about to give birth. Dachshunds almost no longer eat on the day of delivery and occasionally drink water. The owner should pay attention to observation.

Introduction to prenatal preparation for Dachshunds:

The owner should stay with the Dachshund as much as possible before giving birth. The dog will start to tremble and will find a darker corner to burrow. At this time, you need to take out the prepared birth box and put the Dachshund inside.

1. 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.

2. Prepare the thread for tying the umbilical cord. White cotton thread is preferred, and the length is suitable for easy knotting.

3. Prepare scissors for cutting armbands, which must be disinfected with alcohol cotton.
