This semester, I studied the course of appreciating famous dogs and cats, and got a basic understanding of dog breeds. In addition, I read some books about pet dogs, so I wrote this article to give some advice to friends who are raising dogs or planning to raise dogs.
1 puppy management
(1) Two maintenance and three handover. Two maintenance means keeping feeding in the original fence and keeping feeding in the original feed; Transition refers to the transition of feed, feeding system and environment. Feed transition: after weaning 1 week, the formula of feeding part is still the same as that of lactation, and then gradually transition until about 2 weeks after weaning, which can be changed into puppy feeding part. Feeding system transition: a stable living system can promote the growth of puppies and reduce the occurrence of diseases. Puppies should be carefully, regularly and quantitatively fed, eat less and eat more meals to maintain their strong appetite and digestive ability. Environmental transition: after weaning, the puppies are fed by reason, that is, they are not transferred from the original circle and do not mix nests, and the bitches are taken out.
(2) Three-point positioning refers to a fixed place for eating and drinking, a fixed place for sleeping, and a fixed place for excreting urine.
(3) Choose a sunny and windy day for castration. Bitches don't need castration, because they have reached the slaughter period when they are sexually mature, which has little effect on fattening, but they should be castrated to fatten the bitches. 8- 10 is generally suitable for each small group according to its size and physical strength.
(4) New puppies, especially puppies bought from outside, spread pathogenic microorganisms because they have had contact with other animals in the market, or because people who want to buy them keep touching this and that. Therefore, the owner should take the pet to the veterinary hospital immediately after getting it. You can ask the veterinarian to inject some serum into your puppy first. After the puppy has been kept at home for about 10 days, it is strong and adapts to the new family environment, and then take it for vaccination. Insecticides are generally carried out at the age of 20-25 days, and then regularly every month 1 time. Concentrated fermentation of deworming dog manure and worms. Wash the washbasin every day 1 time. The saline basin can be disinfected 1 time per week and boiled for 20 minutes. You can also soak it in 0. 1% bromogeramine solution for 20 minutes or in 2%-4% caustic soda water, and finally rinse it with clean water.
2 puppy breeding
Puppies need twice as many calories as adult dogs in the process of growth and development. It is said that dogs can live about 12- 16 years, which is much shorter than people. It can be said that a dog's life is like a condensed life. Dogs also develop rapidly. You can grow from 1 year to 1 year and a half. This growing period is very important and can even affect the puppy's life. In order to make the puppy grow healthily and sturdily, special attention should be paid to its diet during its development.
Puppies are weaned about 6 weeks after birth and can eat ordinary food from now on, but they should be fed 3-4 times a day for 1-6 months after birth. After weaning to about the third month, the feeding time should be set at 7: 00 am, afternoon 12, 5: 00 pm and afternoon 10, four times a day. From the fifth month to the eighth month of life, you can feed it in the morning, at noon and at night. During this period, the feeding amount of puppies is about one-third to one-half of that of adult dogs. From 2-3 months to less than 3 months after weaning, the food composition of puppies will determine their eating habits throughout their lives. If you plan to continue feeding with special dog food in the future, you must adapt it to the taste of special dog food during this time. If you want to rely on family catering in the future, you should give priority to animal protein and feed more high-calorie food. When puppies are born for 2-3 months, because their teeth and jaws are not fully developed, they should cut the meat into small pieces before feeding. Milk, butter and cheese are also suitable. But don't give them hard bones and so on. From 6 months after birth to 1 year, it is equivalent to a person's teenager, so a dog can develop into a puppy equivalent to 1 8 years old in1year. This period is the most vigorous period for dogs to grow, and the heat of the city is about 1 times of the growth, so you can feed more animal protein foods.
Most puppies can eat hard special dog food in about 2 months. If the puppy is not used to it for a while, it can be soaked in boiling water, milk or soup before feeding. Every dog's food intake is not exactly the same. You can feed a little more first, and then judge whether the feeding amount is too far according to the amount of food left over. You can gradually increase the feeding amount as the puppy grows. The feeding amount should be adjusted every three weeks according to the puppy's eating situation. In order to meet the needs of rapid development, puppies must be allowed to eat as much high-calorie food as possible. But if you eat too much fat, it is easy to damage the digestive organs. So you can remove the fat from the meat and then feed it, or you can feed less fatty foods such as minced meat.
How to help puppies keep out the cold
Even long-haired breeds, because they have not yet grown into dog hair, have insufficient resistance and are particularly afraid of sudden cold and cold wind. There are several ways to help the dog keep out the cold: you can put some clean old blankets and thick towels in the nest to help the dog keep warm. If you buy a puppy home alone, it is difficult to snuggle up to each other for warmth because you are away from home, so you are more likely to catch cold. There are fewer brothers and sisters playing with it, and even the whole body is hot. Don't put the puppy in too ventilated place to prevent frostbite. Especially puppies of 6-8 weeks are most likely to catch a cold. If you can't cook, you'd better not buy a puppy in winter. Don't buy it until it gets warm or old. It will be more resistant.
Winter management should first pay attention to the cold and warmth of kennels. kennel
I'm glad to answer the landlord's question. Please forgive me if there is any mistake.
