How long does it take for a dog to recover from panting after giving birth?

The symptoms of panting and gasping in dogs after giving birth are called postpartum syndrome in dogs, which is generally caused by reasons such as low blood sugar and low blood calcium. Because childbirth consumes most of the dog's energy, coupled with excessive bleeding, the dog is very weak after giving birth. However, this symptom usually improves within 2-5 days, and owners do not need to worry too much. You can feed the dog some nutrient-rich food and use drugs under the guidance of a doctor to relieve inflammation, pain, and replenish sugar and calcium.

If your dog shows signs of panting after giving birth, you can try the following methods to help it recover as soon as possible.

Increase feeding amount and adjust diet structure

Dogs need to replenish various nutrients after giving birth. If your dog is in good spirits and willing to eat, you can increase its usual feeding amount and give it more high-protein and high-calcium foods, such as chicken, beef, and goat's milk.

Relieve inflammation and pain, replenish sugar and calcium

After giving birth, a dog's body may still hurt for a while, which can also cause the dog to pant uncomfortably. You can consult a doctor and give your dog inflammation and pain relief drugs. In addition, besides food, you can also choose to replenish sugar and calcium orally or by injection, such as liquid calcium, calcium gluconate, etc.
