The Female dog heat
The process of sexual cycle in female dogs is unique and very different from the process in other animals . The difference is reflected in every stage of the process - from estrus , mating and ovulation through to pregnancy and birth. It is important to know the process mainly because who ‘s going to breed his dog , it is important knowing the risks , complications , sensitivities and how long this process takes, and what are the implications.
Mating of female dogs starts at bleeding. At this stage the uterus and vagina despise and undergo a kind of “ preparation ” prior to absorption of pregnancy. Condensation is caused in response to hormones from the ovaries that lead to the proliferation of cells in the outer layer of the uterus and vagina , and because of the increased activity and prosperity see the typical situation of bleeding ( very unlike our women bleeding indicates the end of the process and Cleaning the “ womb ) . Towards the end of the bleeding comes from the fertile phase and ovulation usually occurs at this time dogs also allow memory to go there . To schedule a successful pairing , you should do the microscopic surfaces of the vaginal wall began a week after the start of bleeding. When comes the fertile phase , see Change the picture surface cells and can breed . The recommendation is to bring together the female with the male at least twice and even three coverings within a two - three .
Lots of dogs fail to make the pairing independently and need help . In such situations, you can get to your veterinarian clinic tries to help dogs to complete the act , but if it fails have to do artificial insemination - Taking the male sperm , in his examination under a microscope and when he was right - his introduction to the female. This process several disadvantages - it is more expensive because it involves quite a bit of work by a veterinarian , microscopic surfaces of the female and the male , and in addition it may reveal the female infection. Moreover - chances of conception this method is much lower compared with natural mating .
After this stage comes a matter of pregnancy and childbirth. Which may also be complications , some similar and some human pregnancies unique dogs. Pregnancy itself in most cases goes quite smoothly , but if an abortion occurs or there is any problem with vitality of the embryos . Such situations usually see signs of weakness , fever and often provision genital blood . Pregnancy lasts an average of 63 dogs a day , and can hold a different number of puppies - from Magor single or two ( a common example Bfkinzim ) to more than ten ( already encountered in the case of pregnancy with 17 puppies rabies Wisla ! ) . About a month after mating , dog team - s advocate making ultrasound testing dog. This test will identify the approximate number of embryos and their vitality and can detect various problems early to avoid complications later. During pregnancy and after birth is important to give the dog food puppies - This food richer in energy and other elements like calcium are important for the development of embryos and the creation of breast milk .
Prior to calving dogs usually start to prepare a place - in most cases hidden place and protected. Can help the dog and prepare a place cushioned and quiet. On calving usually have decreased over the body temperature and dogs quiet , lack of appetite and sometimes a little restless . Most litters occur at night , so if you see early signs worth looking at the dog every few hours at night. Litters of dogs can go completely independently , and should not intervene , but also should pay attention that can be complications. Also - we recommend updating your veterinarian emergency phone message to get real time training him how to behave , what to do and especially what not to do . Litters can be caught , and one common complications is stopping puppy birth canal . Prime flat races ( mostly English Bulldog and Pekingese but also others) in particular are at risk of a Gur stop birth canal ( because they have a big head and wide for the body and usually a number of small puppies puppies allowing relatively large ) . There are breeders of bulldogs who are not planning a litter natural but rather perform a cesarean predetermined .
After birth, most dog lick the puppies clean and dried them and almost immediately they start to suck . If the dog is very small and there are a lot of Puppies , or if there is a problem with breastfeeding - can help the dog and give the bitches milk substitute ( highly not recommended to substitute the babies that composition is very different ), but the recommendation is to do so only in consultation with the attending veterinarian .
As can be understood from that described above, the process of pregnancy may be complex, risky and often expensive. We recommend leaving the subject of reproductive professional growers and sterilize domestic dogs . Sterilisation is the healthiest way and the right to refrain from common diseases and various risks any reproduction of dogs.
