When a bitch gives birth to their pups postpartum may suffer several disadvantages. For this reason it is always advisable to closely observe the behavior of the animal and go to the vet for any inconvenience. One of the biggest problems is hypocalcemia, which usually occurs in dogs of small size.

This is a low level of calcium in the blood and can be fatal for the mother. If they see that during feeding the dog suffers from constant tremors should go to the vet quickly. Another common problem, but less serious, is the non-infectious mastitis. This occurs when the puppies stop nursing and accumulates a lot of milk in the breasts of the dog.

It is best to apply a cold cloth and call a veterinarian. The latest problem is the agalactia postpartum. This is a problem in which the mother can not nurse their pups due to problems in the breast. If they see that the dogs can not eat have to do it ” artificial. “

Like any other human being, the dog may suffer from different disorders that have direct influence on their behavior. For this reason it is always necessary to be alert and take into account some precautions. These are the two most common disorders seen in canine behavior.

On one hand we coprophagy, which is when the dog eats his own excrement. This usually occurs in puppies and can become a nasty habit if not corrected. Boredom is usually taken for the animal after several hours of confinement and must take a walk to forget about that behavior. If that persists over time to consult your veterinarian.

The attack is another important point to consider. Can occur for several reasons. First, it is punished for no reason and it changes its mode of being. If the dog is always tied up, or is severely beaten respond aggressively. Other animals notice submission in humans and become very dominant.

This must be corrected from pups, proving that love is king (no violence, obviously ), and finally violence may occur from starvation because the dog does not know how to call attention to be fed.

Dogs are animals that are prone to many accidents. Sometimes when the dogs have mobility problems are advised to master the placement of a small device with wheels (like a wheelchair) that allows them to move more easily.

There are people for and against this measure, but it is true that this method has its pros and cons. On the one hand we find that without the help of this device the animal can not move and destined to a life where it will remain prostrate.

As cons we find that the animal that uses the wheels requires constant attention.

The wheels do not let you rest, and this causes a greater depletion in the can. Keep in mind that when using this tool can not do their business freely and that affects them.

Dental hygiene is very important for animals as for anyone. Dogs are animals that suffer most oral diseases, with the tartar which brings them more trouble. If an animal does not receive good dental care will have problems similar to any human.

When plaque forms on teeth can lead to a greater problem: the premature fall of the teeth. For this reason we must keep in mind that the oral health of dogs is as fundamental as the rest of your medical care. We must pay attention to your teeth to see that they are always in good condition.

A good diet, daily brushing (dogs are special toothpastes) and regular checks allow dogs oral health is optimal and not have to worry about dental problems that are extremely serious.
