Things to note when producing Chihuahuas
What are the precautions for giving birth to a Chihuahua? When giving birth to a Chihuahua, you need to pay attention to that the delivery place should be dark, dark and quiet, and it is strictly forbidden to have many people watching. Pay attention to the biting of the umbilical cord by the female dog. If there is "eating habit", stop it in time and don't let it eat too much placenta. If the female dog has dystocia, she should be given assisted delivery or a caesarean section. If there is still a lot of bright red excrement flowing out after delivery, immediately block it with absorbent cotton and send her to the hospital.

1. The place where the dog gives birth should be dark and not bright, so as to avoid the excitement of the female dog. There should be no noise around, and it is strictly forbidden for many people to watch, otherwise the bitch will be overly nervous and cause dystocia.

2. Pay attention to the biting of the umbilical cord by the female dog, and stop it in time if you find that the female dog is "eating cubs".

3. It is normal for female dogs to eat the placenta after giving birth. It has a lactation-promoting effect, but eating too much can cause gastrointestinal digestive disorders. Generally eaten.

4. When a pregnant dog has flowed out a large amount of thin liquid from the vagina for several hours, or when the fetus cannot be fully delivered after 10 minutes of exposure to the vagina, it means that the female dog has dystocia. At this time, assisted delivery or caesarean section is required.

5. After delivery, if there is still a lot of bright red excrement flowing out of the vagina, it indicates that there may be heavy bleeding in the birth canal. The vagina should be blocked with absorbent cotton immediately and sent to a veterinary clinic for treatment.
