Golden Retriever Pregnancy Labor Signs

Golden Retriever Labor呼吸急促说明：

Golden Retrievers breathe heavily and appear to be in pain before labor, which may indicate that labor is imminent. During labor, the amniotic sac will rupture and there will be a discharge from the genital area. If the animal shows signs of constipation, it is similar to the usual bowel movement, and the fetus will be born shortly afterwards. The mother dog will lick the fetus and bite the umbilical cord. If the mother dog does not lick the fetus, the owner should wipe the mouth and nose of the fetus with tissues to prevent respiratory tract blockage.

How long is the interval between Golden Retriever labor?

There is no specific time for the interval, which mainly depends on the dog's labor situation and the size of the fetus at the time. Generally, after a dog gives birth to a puppy, it will first lick off the placenta, mucus, and bite the umbilical cord. Then it waits for the next puppy to be born. Owners don't need to worry too much. If a dog takes more than half an hour to give birth, it may be a case of dystocia and it is recommended to seek medical attention.

How to assist in Golden Retriever labor?

Owners need to prepare a basin of warm water, clean towels, scissors, disinfectant, oxytocin and other birthing supplies. After the dog gives birth to a puppy, cut the umbilical cord and quickly wipe the puppy's nose and mouth with a towel, then place it in a warm dog bed. When the dog's labor is insufficient, the owner can inject an appropriate amount of oxytocin to help the dog give birth. After the dog gives birth, the owner needs to wipe the dog's vulva clean and promptly supplement an appropriate amount of calcium.

When does Golden Retriever labor end?

The duration of Golden Retriever labor depends on factors such as the dog's physical condition, the number of puppies in the pregnancy, the fetal position, fetal attitude, and fetal position. Generally, the interval between the birth of each puppy is about 30-40 minutes. If the labor goes smoothly, it will usually end within 2-6 hours. If the mother dog has difficulty giving birth, the labor may last for more than a day.
