Damai Town Dog (details)
Weaning is a dangerous stage for newborn puppies. They will have various digestive tract diseases due to changes in diet, and because puppies are very fragile, a seemingly ordinary diarrhea may kill them. In order to help newborn puppies survive weaning safely, owners need to pay attention to the following points.
< strong > first, when to wean < /strong >
Generally speaking, puppies can be weaned after 30-35 days of breast milk. In order to avoid diarrhea, constipation, digestive disorders and other digestive tract diseases in puppies, the owner can feed a small amount of liquid food to the puppies every day before weaning, so as to help the puppies gradually adapt to dietary changes. At the early stage of weaning, the owner had better use warm milk to soak the puppy's special dog food for feeding. This can not only ensure the nutritional supply of the puppy, but also give the puppy a buffer period to adapt to the food changes, so that the puppy will not easily get sick.
< strong > second, take a bath < /strong >
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 it is very serious for puppies to catch a cold. When the conditions at home are not suitable for bathing, the owner can wipe their bodies with warm wipes. In addition, 1-month-old puppies are not suitable for taking a bath in a pet hospital. They are not ready to face the outside world. Forcibly taking them out may make puppies suffer from psychological diseases such as agoraphobia.
< strong > third, changing the nest < /strong >
As puppies grow up day by day, they need more and more space for activities, and the nest is no exception. In addition to changing the puppy's nest to a bigger one, the owner should pay special attention to the hygiene of the nest. When it's sunny, bask in the nest and sunbathe the puppy. Sunlight can not only destroy the bacteria in puppies and their nests, but also promote the development of puppies' bones.
< strong > IV. Trim toenails < /strong >
After the puppies are weaned, the owners should trim their toenails regularly, so as to prevent the puppies from scratching their owners, bitches or companions in the rough and tumble.
< strong > v. deworming and vaccination < /strong >
And deworming immunization is not as early as possible, but whether the puppy can bear the load is the key. Under normal circumstances, 1-month-old puppies can be dewormed, while vaccination needs to wait 2-3 months later. Premature vaccination is not conducive to the growth of puppies.
< strong > VI. Differentiate treatment < /strong >
Every litter of puppies can't be strong. For those puppies who are relatively thin, it's best for the owner to make proper manual intervention, such as opening a small kitchen to supplement nutrition alone, so that the puppies won't have poor resistance and stunting due to malnutrition.
