To determine whether a dog is about to give birth, you can observe it from the following aspects:
First of all, we need to pay attention to the dog's pregnancy reaction. During pregnancy, dogs may experience pregnancy reactions such as vomiting and loss of appetite. The severity and duration of these reactions vary from individual to individual, but if symptoms such as persistent, severe vomiting, high fever, or abdominal pain occur, you should promptly go to a vet hospital for examination.
Secondly, we need to observe the physiological changes of the dog. When the dog is about to give birth, the dog's mammary glands will swell, the nipples will turn brown, and at the same time, ** will gradually become larger and secretions will flow out. If these changes are noticed, then it means that the dog may be about to give birth.
In addition, we need to observe the behavior changes of the dog. Before giving birth, the dog may exhibit nesting behaviors, such as laying out items such as grass mats and blankets in the corners. At the same time, dogs will also have behaviors such as not letting people approach and hide, which is to protect the fetus that is about to be born. If these behaviors are detected, they should be paid attention to and prepared in time.
In addition, some external factors may also indicate that the dog is about to give birth. For example, an environment that is too high or too low can affect the birth of a fetus. In a high temperature environment, it may lead to fetal hypoxia or even death; In a cold environment, it can cause hypothermia after birth. Therefore, during pregnancy, attention should be paid to adjusting the ambient temperature and maintaining a suitable indoor temperature and humidity.
Finally, we need to pay attention to the dog's due date. Generally, the due date for dogs is between 58-64 days. If you have not delivered after the due date, you should go to the pet hospital for examination in time to avoid fetal oversize or stillbirth.
In conclusion, judging whether a dog is about to give birth requires a comprehensive consideration of many aspects. During pregnancy, you should pay close attention to the physiological and behavioral changes of your dog, pay attention to adjusting the ambient temperature, and pay attention to the due date and other time nodes. If there is an abnormality, you should go to the pet hospital for examination in time and seek the advice of a professional doctor and**.
