It takes 7 days for the dew to come out of the dog’s body. Normally, the dew will be drained within 5 days and delayed by 1-2 days at most, but if it is still dripping after this time, it is called “dew that does not end”, which is called “with evidence” by Chinese veterinarians. This is also one of the common diseases of dog mothers after giving birth. The mother’s dew is dark red and can turn into a blood-like discharge within 12 hours after delivery, and the amount increases. In the early stage, the malodorous fluid contains blood and is red; in the middle stage, it becomes yellowish; in the late stage, it is transparent and colorless, and then it stops discharging. If it does not clear for a longer period of time or if there is an abnormal bad smell, it indicates pathological changes in the uterus. The postpartum malodor in the lower Siamese is due to residues in the uterus The formation of malodor is mainly due to the degeneration and shedding of the maternal placenta, blood in the vessels of the fetal membranes, residual fetal water in the uterus, and a large amount of secretions from the uterine glands. In the first few days, the malodex contains blood, so it appears red; later, it gradually becomes a clear yellowish liquid; and finally, it becomes transparent and stops discharging. The postpartum period of a dog includes the discharge of the fetal clothes, the exhaustion of the malaria and the return of the reproductive organs to their original state. The main changes in the dog’s reproductive tract after delivery are the regeneration of the mucosal layer of the uterus; the variable shedding of the maternal placenta mucosa; the proliferation of a new epithelial layer of the uterine glandular epithelium; the absorption of the “parenchymal part of the atrophy” of the mucosa; and the discharge of the malodex.
Care of the dog’s postpartum dew In the days after the birth of a dog, especially in the days after the birth, the mother’s internal physiological processes are adjusting, and there are great changes in the reproductive organs. The dog mother’s resistance is reduced, and the damage on the mucous membrane of the birth canal may become a pathway for pathogenic invasion. When breastfeeding, the dog is more likely to be in a side-lying position, with the pubic door close to the bedding for a longer period of time, thus making it more likely to cause infection. Parents should regularly disinfect and clean the vulva and perineum of the mother dog. Malodex will have a lot of blood and other bacteria prone to growth, so it can cause upstream infection and should be swabbed and cleaned in a timely manner. Clinically, 0.1% potassium permanganate water is commonly used as a cleaning solution because it is highly oxidizing and non-irritating. Postpartum dew treatment for dogs Usually after childbirth should be given to the mother of the dog for some “mother’s cream” to facilitate the discharge of dew and uterine regeneration, you can also use subcutaneous injection of uterine contractions. If the dog dew, bleeding more than the pubic door, you need to inject the postpartum fast Kang or fishy injection to promote uterine contraction. Go to the hospital is also this type, may be called by a different name. After delivery, you can eat motherwort, brown sugar water, to warm the role of the uterus to protect the uterus, help the dog mother’s rapid recovery.
