Secondly, the weight gain of the puppies should be measured regularly. The weight gain of the puppies is an important indicator to judge whether the puppies are well developed. Under normal circumstances, the number of puppies should not exceed 6. Within the first 5 days of birth, the weight gain of the puppies should be 50 g per day. above. From 6 to 10 days, the average daily weight gain is 70 g. After 11 days, due to insufficient breast milk, the daily weight gain of the puppies begins to decrease.

Generally, within 1 to 2 days before giving birth, the female dog will have no appetite and vomit. If her nipples are squeezed hard, white milk will overflow. In addition, the delivery period can also be calculated by measuring the rectal temperature. If the rectal temperature is below 37.5C, delivery will begin in 12 to 24 hours. Under normal circumstances, young dogs and dogs with experience in childbirth can easily give birth normally. Frail dogs or old dogs are prone to abnormal births. Dogs that give birth for the first time also need to pay special attention. Fetuses that are too large, inverted, stillborn, etc. are prone to leading to dystocia.
