Feeding technology

Chihuahua is a small dog, lively and lovely, full of exercise, likes to be cared for, and is somewhat jealous. The growth of each dog can be divided into puppies and adult dogs on the whole, and it can be subdivided into many in these two stages, such as puppies who can't take care of themselves, pregnant bitches, elderly dogs, etc. Each stage needs different nutritional elements. Therefore, pay attention to the nutritional needs of dogs at every stage and prepare a suitable diet for them, and dogs will grow up healthily. For puppies who have just entered the new environment, the breeder should know the type, amount and feeding time of the food given to the puppies by the original owner, and keep the same as the original owner as much as possible, and slowly adjust the dog's diet on the basis that the puppies adapt to the external environment. Otherwise, if you change the dog's eating habits, the dog's original living environment, or a series of drastic changes such as long-distance transportation at the same time, the puppy's physical function will have a strong stress reaction, which will lead to the decline of the puppy's resistance, gastrointestinal dysfunction and endocrine system disorder, which will easily cause dog diseases. For puppies and dogs, you should eat some foods with high softness, such as soft dog food. Dogs' stomachs and intestines are different from those of humans, so they can't be fed with human nutrition and health or taste requirements. This will not only make dogs taste delicious food, but also affect their life and health. As the dog grows up, you can do some beauty care for the dog when it reaches 4-5 months. At this time, the nutritional needs should not only meet the needs of the dog's growth, but also add extra nutrition to ensure the dog's hair is healthy and shiny. Adjusting the balance of calcium and phosphorus in time, often basking in the sun, and supplementing the deficiency of vitamins A, D and E can maintain the health of dogs. It is suggested that Chihuahuas are petite, not timid to other dogs, and very exclusive to their owners, which can be divided into short hair and long hair. 1. Generally speaking, Chihuahua is possessive, likes to stay with people, likes to be held, and is a clingy puppy. Chihuahua dog has a strong biological clock, so it will be sleepy at a certain time in the evening. Don't let the host stay up late, and some people usually have the habit of taking a nap. Chihuahua is small and easy to be stepped on. 4. Too much, too oily and too cold food can easily cause diarrhea and cold in the stomach. Chihuahua drinks less water, but it must not be cut off. 6. The chihuahua just bought has weak resistance, bad environment, improper care and poor physical foundation. Try to keep him away from the sick dog. 7. In autumn and winter, the temperature changes sharply, so we should always pay attention to the warmth of Chihuahua. Temperature is the invasion point of Chihuahua disease. 8. Chihuahua is afraid of firecrackers. 9. Vaccines should use the same brand, otherwise it may cause immune failure. 1. Dry dog food: Chihuahua's deadly killer Almost 8% of Chihuahuas died of dehydration caused by diarrhea! Dry dog food is equivalent to the properties of compressed biscuits. It swells when it meets water, and its volume is three times that of dry feed. Common sense of conservation 1. We should follow the original feeding method and gradually change the feeding method: suddenly changing the food, the dog can't adapt, often causing digestive tract diseases and anorexia 2. Feeding should be regular and quantitative: I am afraid that the dog can't eat well, eat enough, and feed eggs, milk and sausage casually; Host feed, relatives and friends feed; Irregular and irregular play may lead to illness. 3. Excessive play: adults tease, children play, you hug, I tease, dogs can't get rest, fatigue, decreased resistance, easy to get sick, especially puppies, sleep at least 1 hours a day. 4. Not adapted to the new environment: dogs leave their original living environment and come to strange places, and they will feel lonely and miss their original owners. Especially puppies, who have just been weaned and left their brothers and sisters, are not used to it. If the food and room temperature can't meet the requirements, they are more likely to get sick. 5. Improper bathing: Some owners think that dogs are dirty, and they bathe them as soon as they buy them home, but they don't blow dry them, so dogs are prone to get sick. It's best not to take a bath for the newly purchased dog. Observe for two days, and then get vaccinated without symptoms such as cold and diarrhea (the vaccine is actually a small amount of virus, which can only make things worse if you are weak or sick). 6. Going out to contact with other dogs and being infected with diseases: even the vaccinated dog, the protection rate is not 1%, not to mention the dog without immunity. The newly purchased dogs should not be taken out for play, contacted with other dogs or even touched by other dog owners to prevent cross-infection. 7. If there is a dog at home, the newly bought one must be observed in isolation for a few days to prevent the original healthy dog from being infected. 8. Always keep medicines and articles: thermometer, eye drops, cold medicine, antidiarrheal medicine, ear mite drops, lactic acid bacteria tablets (which can cure diarrhea and help digestion). The medicine must be for children or pets, and several sorbet sticks should be prepared (for temporary dressing in case of accidental fracture) 9. Chicken liver should not exceed two pairs a week, otherwise it will affect bone development, and fasting must be controlled (see "Dietary Taboos" for details). 1. If it is a puppy, it is necessary to keep warm, and the nest should be covered with clothes. It is best to change the old sleeves into small clothes. Conservation and management Chihuahua began to deworm it on the 28th day after its birth; Give it the first vaccine on the 35th day (to prevent parvovirus and canine distemper); 55 days < P > Take the second injection of quadruple vaccination; The third injection in 75 days; The fourth injection in 11 days. When a Chihuahua puppy arrives at its new home, it's best to use its previous feed brand within two weeks. After it has adapted to the new environment, if necessary, it will change its feed again. The way to change it is very simple, which lasts about 1 to 14 days. One tenth of the original dog food can be removed every day, and one tenth of the new dog food can be added. In this way, the new dog food will gradually increase, while the original dog food will gradually decrease, and it should be able to transfer smoothly within two weeks. It is advisable for puppies from 3 days to two months to eat soft feed, and change to granular hard feed after the puppy is two months old. Chihuahua puppies should be fed three to five times a day, with a small amount of meals as the principle. Usually, Chihuahua, which has just been bought home, should be fed four times a day. As for the choice of the amount, it is best to try to give a small amount first, and then observe whether it has eaten all, and it has been licking the bowl, which means that it can give more. Every dog has different food needs, so trust your own eyes to judge whether the dog is fat or thin, or keep a fixed weight, and you will know whether you have fed correctly. After about three months old, if the dog can't finish every meal of dog food or doesn't want to eat one meal, it's time to feed it three times a day. When puppies grow up to six months old, they can be reduced to two meals a day. Until they are adults, Chihuahuas still need to feed them twice a day, because their stomachs are very small, unlike large dogs, and they must be fed twice to meet their nutritional and health needs. If you want your dog to supplement other meat nutrients, it's best to boil the meat in water to avoid being too salty. As for the food that people eat at the table, you should never feed it to the dog, especially any bones. If the dog food stays in the bowl for more than 15 minutes, it should be taken away immediately and fed at the next meal, so that the dog can develop the good habit of eating regularly. Of course, it is not allowed to take out the dog food left over from the last meal and feed it at every meal. However, stale food will be. Chihuahuas before the age of one should choose the so-called growing dog food, because they contain more protein and fat than adult dog food, which can be used by growing puppies. Chihuahuas after one year old can be gradually converted into dog food for dogs. In case the dog is overweight and needs to lose weight, it is necessary to buy dog food with less protein and fat but more fiber. If it doesn't like the diet formula, it can also reduce the feeding amount by one tenth. If it still can't lose weight, it is necessary to ask a veterinarian for help. If a dog needs prescription food because of illness, it must be handled by a veterinarian, because like Chihuahuas with diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, pancreatitis or other skin diseases, veterinarians may prescribe food for dogs. This prescription food is very different from normal dog food, so normal dogs should not eat it. Once a dog needs prescription food, veterinarians need to observe its use for at least several months. Some foods are toxic to dogs, so you must never feed them, otherwise they will be sick and fatal, especially for dogs with weak resistance. Candy biscuits with high sugar content will reduce the appetite of dogs, cause malnutrition, and even cause diarrhea or vomiting. Chocolate, in particular, may kill dogs. Different brands of chocolate do not do the same harm to dogs. Although a small milk chocolate may kill a small dog, you should never put chocolate where dogs can find it, including the kitchen table. Meat such as ham has too much fat, which is not easy for dogs to digest, and it contains a lot of seasonings, which will harm the digestive system of dogs. Bones and the like are also dangerous foods for dogs and should be avoided. Besides water, don't give dogs other drinks, such as soda water, which contains too many polysaccharides and additives. Alcohol is also harmful to dogs, and too much will kill them. Onions can add flavor to food, but eating too much can cause hemolysis. Garlic also contains a lot of toxins that can cause blood poisoning in dogs. If it is fed too much, it will not work. Note: 1. To prevent the acclimatization of purebred Chihuahua, first of all, don't feed it too full, and add some normal saline to the dog. I was feeding the Chihuahua when I came the next day. 2. The dog's health status, the sign of Chihuahua's discomfort may be a cold or something, and send it to the pet hospital as soon as possible. See if the dog has bright eyes and is good at running. 3. Room temperature, try not to let the dog feel cold, and let the Chihuahua have a warm home. 4. Don't take the dog out often when you just buy it. It's best to wait for the dog to adapt for 2 weeks. Training should call the baby's name before giving an order: let the dog know that it is his own name and pay more attention to the instructions. Instructions should be as short as possible, and gestures are better: dogs can't understand human language, but they can distinguish the pitch and the sound. With gestures, it can easily understand what we want him to do. Dogs sometimes recognize gestures faster than commands. The two most important words, "well done" and "this is wrong": "well done" and "this is wrong" are two extremely important and necessary instructions. Why is it important? Because when a dog is young, he has to tell right from wrong by himself. If he is told to sit down, but he doesn't sit down, or jumps around, you can call his name, and then say to him, "This is wrong." The voice should be low and loud enough for the dog to pay attention. When the dog's instructions are right, you should say "well done" to it in a soft voice and then touch its head. Can induce dogs to think for themselves, with food lure, it will get twice the result with half the effort! Always let it know that you are the master: no matter how much you love the dog, you must be on it. Food is a way to distinguish classes, and it is the boss who gives food. The dog's class concept should be cultivated from an early age. When the baby does something wrong, let it know the majesty of its owner. When the baby does the right thing, give a reward. You will always be the master. The estrus performance of mating dogs can be roughly divided into two periods, namely, pre-estrus and estrus. Preestrus is a period of time before the official estrus of a bitch begins. At this time, the bitch's vulva is red and swollen, and there is blood and mucus flowing out, which is also commonly known as menstruation, and this period of time is about 7-1 days, and then she will enter estrus.

artificial mating

during estrus, the vulva of the bitch continues to be red and swollen, but the color of the discharged blood sample secretion will obviously fade. Male dogs will be very upset during estrus, and they will climb over the bitch, which usually lasts for 6-1 days. Bitches will ovulate on the 213th day after entering estrus, which is the best time for mating and the easiest to get pregnant. The mating behavior of dogs is very different from that of ordinary domestic animals, which is mainly due to the special reproductive organ structure of male dogs. Usually there is no penis bone in the penis of domestic animals, but there is penis bone in the penis of male dogs, which can be inserted into the vagina of female dogs without erection during mating. After the penis is stimulated by vagina, the spherical sponge of glans penis located at the front end of penis bone will be immediately congested and expand rapidly, and its circumference will be increased by about one time, and then it will be caught by the vagina of bitch and locked, so that the penis can not be pulled out, and the locking degree is usually difficult to separate male and female dogs. At this time, the male dog turns and slides down, with his back to the female dog, and forms a special tail-to-tail posture with the female dog. At this time, it seems that the male dog and the female dog are like conjoined dogs with their buttocks stuck together, and the mating time is about 1-45 minutes. When the male dog ejaculates, the penis sponge will shrink and the penis will come out to separate them. Note that Chihuahua is one of the dog breeds with high dystocia rate, which everyone should know. Because of its small size, Chihuahua is more prone to dystocia when born than ordinary dogs, and many dystocia cases require caesarean section. It is suggested that attention should be paid before mating, generally about 58-62 days after conception. Problem Solving Because a small number of female Chihuahuas give birth naturally or have insufficient milk after caesarean section, it is difficult to feed live cubs successfully, so it is necessary to supplement them manually or feed them completely artificially. 1. Boil fresh goat's milk and water at the ratio of 4:1 for three times, then air it to about 37 degrees. Before feeding, fully rub the nipple at the mouth of the cub to stimulate his instinct. If you can't suck milk, you have to wash your hands, put your little finger in the cub's mouth to induce him to feel that the sucking force is very strong, and immediately put on a bottle to feed. 2. Feed the pups every 2 hours for 5 days, and feed 1 ml-2 ml at a time (it depends on the weight of the pups). Visually, the belly is slightly protruding from the upper rib. 3. After feeding, help him digest. 1. Dip a cotton swab in water to help him defecate. 2. Massage his stomach to discharge the sucked air. (Method 1. Draw a circle around the navel in one direction with your forefinger. Massage gently with your thumb and forefinger.) 3. Massage the soles of your feet to promote blood circulation. 4. If the dog mother is still a parent, it can be put back to her mother. At this time, it should be noted that 1. Drop a drop of milk on the head of the cub to let the dog mother lick it so that the cub does not feel lonely, and it can also help the cub open his eyes. 2 Be sure to cover the baby (like the season). 3 If the mother dog is incompetent, she should wrap the baby well, and it is the same in summer, because only in this way can she feel safe and survive by her own body temperature and additional temperature (heating facilities such as warming the baby). After 5. 5 days, the milk quantity was gradually increased. Almost 8% of the newly bought baby Chihuahuas died of dehydration caused by diarrhea. People can't help but think that it's simply caused by catching cold without clothes. However, catching cold is only a catalyst for diarrhea, and the root cause of its death is the dry dog food that people easily ignore. Often many owners take a seemingly small amount of dry dog food to feed their dogs, and find that they are always hungry and have a strong appetite. The heart that loves pets always thinks: let him eat enough, and then eat enough. I have to go to work and can't feed until I come back at night. If I'm hungry, I have to eat enough. "However, I don't know that this is the first step for the doll dog to take its fatal step! This is the illusion brought by dry dog food, and dog owners often don't know that they have been deceived by this illusion. Then the tragedy will be staged step by step: after eating, some dogs know to drink cold water, and some don't drink water at all. Rest when you are not active, and when you fall asleep, your skin pores are completely open, and the cold invades, especially Chihuahua.
