The bitch after operation needs proper rest and recuperation. This nursed back to health process is called "dog confinement". In this process, all organs of pregnant dogs are restored to varying degrees, so it is necessary to pay attention to the balance between food and nutrition to ensure the recovery speed after delivery. So what is suitable for dogs to eat?
1, special dog food for puppies
Within a week after delivery, the dog may still be weak and have no appetite, so it needs to adapt to the food slowly and maintain a stable diet. At the same time, it is suggested to give dogs some special dog food, which can help dogs digest and absorb nutrients better and grow up healthy. Dog owners should choose dog food with high protein content, sufficient vitamins and nutrients, which can ensure the food quality.
When choosing dog food, try to avoid eating large particles, plush, bones, etc., because these items may cause harm to the puppy's stomach and digestion.
2. Hot food
During confinement, dogs are physically weak and need to eat warm food. You can make some food for dogs, such as chicken breast, lean slices, eggs and so on. Dog owners need to ensure the hygiene and cleanliness of food and avoid the pollution of inappropriate substances in food.
When feeding, control the temperature of the food to ensure that the dog will not burn his mouth because of the high temperature. At the same time, we should adjust measures to local conditions, and increase or decrease the food intake due to the breed, size and health status of dogs.
3. Foods rich in calcium
Postpartum bitches need to recover their physical strength and promote milk secretion in the second month, so foods rich in calcium are particularly important. Dogs can eat lean meat rich in calcium, milk, strawberries, sesame seeds, keel and other foods.
But in the process of eating, we should pay attention to the right amount to avoid problems caused by excessive calcium intake, such as gastrointestinal problems and bone problems.
4. Moisture drinks
During confinement, bitches need water to expel toxins and keep their skin healthy. Besides drinking clean water, the dog owner can also give the dog some drinks, such as Arctic phosphate and baking soda water, which can effectively maintain the fluid balance in the body and ensure the normal function of the dog's kidney.
However, drinks should be moderate to avoid discomfort caused by drinking too much, and the quality of drinks should be high to avoid impurities, bacteria and other things that may bring health problems to dogs.
5. Summary
It is very important for the dog to make a good diet for the second month. Owners should ensure food quality, intake and food hygiene, and try to choose foods rich in various nutrients and trace elements, which will help enhance the immunity and health of dogs.
If the dog has any symptoms during the second month, such as loss of appetite, vomiting or other physical discomfort, it is also very important to seek medical attention in time.
