If the dog lacks exercise, is obese, or is older, dystocia may occur. What to do if your dog has a difficult birth? If you have some experience, you can assist in the delivery yourself. During the delivery, the dog adopts a holding position with the front high and the back low, and oxytocin can be injected at the same time. The appropriate birth angle is selected according to the position of the fetus, and the dog is pulled along the way.
If it doesn’t work, you can only take her to the hospital for a caesarean section immediately. The brief preparation work before caesarean section has two aspects: on the one hand, it is the disinfection and preparation of surgical instruments and dressings, and the establishment of surgical procedures; on the other hand, it is the ideological preparation and material preparation of the animal owner, that is, the operation of caesarean section should be explained to the animal owner. Success and failure factors exist simultaneously. We need to have a certain understanding of surgery, because there are certain risks in using anesthesia, so no one can guarantee that the dog will survive.
Early diagnosis and timely surgery are the key to improving the survival rate of the mother and her cubs. Difficult delivery due to narrow birth canal, overweight dog, oversized fetus, etc. should be operated on in time. The earlier the operation, the better. The safer the mother will be, the higher the survival rate will be, and the faster the mother will recover. It is especially important for dogs to strengthen surgical care and improve primary wound healing.
Therefore, in order to prevent dystocia for dogs, we must pay attention to our diet so as not to make the dogs too obese. It is usually best to take them outside for exercise. These are very beneficial to their future production. .
