What to feed a dog after giving birth
After the dog gives birth, the owner should choose food containing high protein, high calcium, and high-quality fat to supplement the dog's nutrition, such as eggs, chicken breast, beef, and boneless fish. Later, you can feed the dog carp soup and sheep's milk to help it produce more milk and combine calcium tablets, glucose, etc. to provide energy. Note that the food fed to the dog should be cooked in boiled water, without any seasonings, and the texture should be easy to swallow.
Dog labor consumes a lot of energy and is very hard work. Symptoms such as mental fatigue and loss of appetite are relatively normal. The owner should choose nutritious food according to the dog's physical condition.
In terms of food texture selection, you can try to choose easily swallowed foods such as sheep's milk and various meat soups. Because the dog is very weak after giving birth and has reduced eating ability, choosing this type of food can help it more easily and quickly supplement nutrients and regain strength. When the dog's physical strength and mental state improve, gradually feed dog food and meat.
In terms of food component selection, choose foods high in protein, high in calcium, and rich in high-quality fat, such as eggs, chicken breast, beef, and boneless fish. These foods can help the dog recover faster. Later, you can feed sheep's milk and carp soup to help the dog produce milk.
In terms of nutritional supplement selection, you can feed the dog some pet calcium tablets to prevent postpartum hypocalcemia. At the same time, small molecule carbohydrates such as glucose can quickly provide energy for the dog, maintain strength, and can also be supplemented. Oral or injection methods can be used.
Note: When cooking food for the dog, it is best to use boiled water and avoid adding any human food seasonings. During this period, dog food should still be the main source of nutrition.
