Feeding of Bellingdon Terrier puppies
In the first 4 days after birth, check frequently to be careful of the mother dog crushing the Bedlington Terrier puppies. After 5 days, when the weather is windy and warm, take the Bellington Terrier puppy outdoors to bask in the sun with its mother, usually twice a day, for about half an hour each time. Let it breathe fresh air, use ultraviolet rays in the sun to kill bacteria on the body, promote bone development, and avoid getting sick. When you can walk, you can go for a walk outdoors. The time should be short at first and can be gradually lengthened later. Around 13 days after birth, Bedlington Terrier puppies can open their eyes. At this time, strong light stimulation should be avoided to avoid damaging the eyes of Bedlington Terrier puppies.
After the baby starts to open its eyes at 9-12 days, the milk can be poured into the food plate for licking. (Although some Bellington Terrier puppies have their eyes open, they still cannot lick themselves.)
Around 20 days, a small amount of rice soup and porridge can be added to the milk.
After 20 days, when the weather is fine, let the mother dog take the Bedlington Terrier puppies to the yard (provided you have a yard) for activities. The time is not limited, and they will return to the room in the evening or on rainy days. If your Bellington Terrier puppy gets wet in the rain, dry it immediately with a dry towel. Pay attention to keeping warm to prevent colds.
The toenails of Bedlington Terrier puppies can be trimmed once every 20 days to prevent the Bedlington Terrier puppies from scratching their mother’s breasts while feeding.
After 25 days, you can add some broth and vegetable soup, and the amount can be gradually increased to about 200 ml.
After 30 days, you can add chopped cooked meat, 15-20 grams each time. After 35 days, the amount can be increased.
At 30 days old, use anthelmintic medicine to deworm the Bedlington Terrier puppies, and then deworm them once a month.
Generally weaning takes 1 and a half months to 2 months.
Note: Supplementary food can be mixed with milk, eggs, minced meat and pasta or rice to form semi-solid food, and at the same time, appropriate amounts of cod liver oil and bone meal can be added. 4-5 times a day.
Bedlington Terrier puppies tend to get dirty things on their bodies. At first, the mother will lick them off at any time, but when they get older, they will ignore them. Someone needs to wipe and bathe them frequently, once every 2-3 days.
