Do You Know How to Take Care of a Siberian Husky Puppy That is Still Nursing?

“Puppy” means a puppy about 45 days from birth to weaning. Most puppies are physically weak during lactation, so they not only need extra love and care, but also proper care. Let the puppy learn to take care of themselves, cultivate their ability to survive independently, the work the owner has to do is heat preservation, pressure prevention, fixed teat, timely feeding and so on.

First of all, after the puppy was born, the constant temperature environment in the mother came to the outside of the temperature changing environment, these spotless little little hair, temperature control function has not yet fully formed, so we must do a good job of insulation work. At the same time, the puppies born in Hong Kong have very soft bones, cannot stand steadily, and cannot move easily. They are easy to be suffocated or trampled to death by the mother dog. This is where the owners need to step up their care.

Secondly, be careful in eating and replenishing milk. The newborn dog has not yet produced antibodies, but the mother dog secretes a lot of breast milk rich in a variety of antibodies at this time, so the newborn dog should eat enough colostrum. When the puppy is a little older and the supply of breast milk is insufficient, it needs to be properly supplemented. Avoid feeding milk at this time, because the dog’s gastrointestinal function is very poor, and milk is very easy to cause diarrhea at this time. It is best to use special dog milk powder, in order to reduce costs can also use skim milk or high calcium skim milk powder. Boil and sterilize and bottle feed at a temperature of around 27. The amount of replenishment generally does not need to be deliberately limited, when to feed until full. After 25 days of age, you can try to eat with broth and porridge. The little ones often fight over their milk. In order to avoid conflict and individual stunting, the teats of each little one should be fixed to make them eat their milk and live peacefully.

Again, in the daily management should also be careful care, meticulous. 5 days after the puppies are born, you can use the warm weather to take them outdoors to bask in the sun with the mother dog, twice a day, half an hour each time is best. In this way, the puppies can breathe fresh air, and use the ultraviolet rays in the sun to kill bacteria on the body, and help the dry and loose coat to speed up its growth. There is a lot of dirt on the dog, it should be wiped with a soft cloth in time, and they should be bathed once every two days, the water temperature of the bath water is between 25-30 ° C, and the bath water should be cut into the ear. After taking a bath, you can trim the toenails for the puppy, so as not to scratch the mother dog’s breast and other puppies when feeding. Wait until the puppies have a certain amount of physical strength and energy, you can guide them to play and play outdoors, but to prevent each other from biting and fighting.

Finally, the owner had better make a record every day, carefully observe, treat different puppies differently, and take emergency measures in time if there is discomfort. The advantage of comprehensive records is that the growth law of puppies can be found in comparison and identification, and scientific management can be carried out to achieve the best results.
