Zeal
dogs are said to have the heat every 6 months. Not entirely true, since in many cases the frequency will depend on the race. For example, German Shepherds I have actually every 180 days, but I have every 250 poodles. Often confound the zeal of your dogs with menstruation, but not have nothing to do from the standpoint of hormone. I mean, the dogs do not have a rule or term as women. It is also important to know that usually the stage where the indented bitch is not plenty of heat itself, but what is known as proestrus lasts on average 9 days, with an interval of 3 to 17 days, which is the period preceding the rut. At that time, the oestrus itself, the dog virtually eliminate vaginal bleeding, but that at most you will see a few drops of pink or straw color. The period that the bitch is receptive, technically known as estrus, lasts an average of 9 days with an interval of 3 to 21 days. It is therefore recommended that you present the dog to the male with whom you want to cross at 8 or 9 days it has started to bleed and subsequent days. The dog will try to ride it, but she is only receptive or accept it when your body is ready. The mounted
To achieve a successful mating, the female should be removed to the place where the male. The ideal is a relaxed atmosphere in which the male attracted by pheromones produced by the vagina and the anal glands of the female shall intercourse. I must say that natural mating is standard, but sometimes the inexperience of both or even the size of the dog or the dog can be an impediment to intercourse normally takes place especially in small breeds. In extreme cases and when natural mating is not possible, we will have to opt for artificial insemination. This is the male semen collection by manual masturbation and its subsequent introduction into the dog's cervix using a catheter. Times
The time a male and a female can be used in matching is 15-20 minutes.
At 16 days after mating, the uterus shows spherical bumps in the implantation sites and 20 days starts the implementation of embryos. An experienced veterinarian can make a pregnancy diagnosis by palpation at 25 days. The average gestation period is 63 days, varying between 56 to 72 if calculated from the time of the first mating.
We can say that after 5 weeks of gestation is when there is true development of fetuses, and 50 days will have virtually the present size when born. It is advisable to carry out an ultrasound at 30 and 50 days of gestation to determine the future health of the puppies, their positioning and number. If it is not possible to perform an ultrasound, may be replaced by an X-ray, to have no problem in fetuses. Precautions and food
The use of medications during pregnancy if necessary, should be done with extreme caution and always under veterinary supervision as it may cause fetal defects (teratogenic effects). What if indicated is the female parasite on day 45 of gestation to avoid possible transmission to the fetus via placental parasites that may give serious problems in the digestive system of puppies. This deworming should be repeated in the mother, ten days after delivery. It is also advisable to change the power of the mother from day 30 of gestation. The best food will feed the growing puppy made by race or size. This special diet must be maintained until weaning.
Labor
When there are a few days for delivery, or sometimes just 12-14 hours, the dog was restless, hyperactive, dig in certain parts of the house and look for the place that it seems the more appropriate to give birth. This place will not always be consistent with which of you it seems the right one, so if we do not want unpleasant surprises, it's time to get to the task to teach the site that you have chosen. The ideal is a quiet and far away from the bustle of the household maximum. During the hours before delivery you will see that the dog goes to the place very often designed for delivery and display aggressive with strangers. The bed for labor, material must be hard for the dog to realize if you are crushing a puppy and the sides high enough to prevent a puppy from moving too much. Needless to say, you have to be sized according to the size of the dog. One point that I think of the utmost importance and often forgotten, is that childbirth should be present only those close to the mother. There have been cases of cannibalism when the dog understands that the litter is threatened or shipments of puppies to places she considers safer. The decline in rectal temperature 8 to 24 hours before delivery is a parameter that should be taken into account. In the dwarf races can fall to 35 º C, in medium to 36 ° C and the giants to 37 ° C.
Pups and placentas are expelled with the uterine contractions and abdominal contractions help. Once the puppy born, the mother shall hygiene breaking through the fetal envelopes licked with teeth cut the umbilical cord and remove fluids and casings that may be obstructing the external airway. In the case of weak or dead puppies, their revival after trying and not succeeding, the mother separated from the rest, hide, bury them, or very rarely eaten.
intervals of 10 minutes to 2-3 hours between each birth are considered normal, with an average time of 30-45 minutes. Time will later explain in more detail the different periods of confinement and the control that you should do about them.
Since during the period of gestation of the bitch will be necessary a couple of routine clinical visits to your, you will have to take the nearest to delivery to you explain all the possible circumstances that may lead to a difficult delivery that will be necessary to go to a vet urgently.
