If you have a dog that was pregnant and is about to give birth to their pups is necessary to take certain measures that will provide a comfortable and safe delivery. The first thing we have to do is get a big, warm place where the dog can give birth and care for her puppies well in the early hours.

The best thing is to find a box with high walls and create a mattress with old blankets and other items of obsolete material. Usually the dog will try to be herself before giving birth, so if you see a behavior on your part is elusive because it is looking for a quiet place for the birth of their pups.

The delivery may take several hours depending on the number of children you have. It is important to pay attention to the birth to see if there are any problems, and it is good to have a vet nearby to verify that all is well. The birth may have problems and so we have to see if the bitch and puppies force does not go, if you lose a lot of blood or if we see a character in her face dejected.

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.
