How do I care for a pregnant dog, a nursing dog, and her puppies?

by frotzed2

Question by ~MLT~: How do I care for a pregnant dog, a nursing dog, and her puppies?
I just found out my little sister’s dog is pregnate, and I’m the one who’s going to have to take care of it. She is due any day now, and is expecting a not-so-easy delivery because either the litter is huge, or the puppies are huge. We’re really not sure. My parents aren’t going to take her to the vet unless she is in labor and having problems. I’ve already cleaned her bowls, dog house, and toys and removed the other dog from her pen. Other than watching her very carefully, is there anything else I should do?
They’ve said “She’s not coming in the house.”
We were expecting her to deliver today since she is now almost a week overdue. Her milk has only come in the back but not in the front. She’s still eating. I don’t get it. What’s taking so long?
She had them today. There are at least seven (it’s hard to count when she’s in front of half of them). She’s fine and they’re fine.

I have a German Shepherd Male dog that is about 75 pounds. He is a bit over a year old, about 1 year and three months old. I feed him one big bowl of Dry Dog Mix, usually RoyalCanine German Shepherd Mix but for some time now I have been giving him different types of Pedigree Mixes for large breeds. I only feed him in the mornings but with a large portion because he has the habit to look and sniff our food, so I have to re-teach him that that’s not okay. Is this enough food for him.

Question by Mackenzie C: Should I be concerned about my dogs behaviour?
I have a German Pinscher who on occasion seems to lunge/bark/growl at certain dogs for no apparent reason especially when the other dog is being restrained from him. Also this behaviour is sometimes seen when a noticebly submissive dog is around. He seems to bully the more submissive dog… Also note he has never actually attacked or bitten another dog. Should we be concerned with this behavior, if so how can we prevent it?

Why are the dry dog foods making dogs sick and die currently?

Question by DAVID: Why are the dry dog foods making dogs sick and die currently?
I just bought new dog food for my dog, I wanted to know because I bought a commercial brand. Why is the food bad?

Best answer:

Answer by wise old sage
Most dog food is okay. the problem you are refering to
arose because some companies bought supplies from
China. the chinese aren’t as tight on the policing of
products made for export and the word is let the buyer
beware, there are some very unethical companies that improve the profit margin by cheating on shipments and
food and drug products made with them in America are
substandard and/or toxic.

Is my puppy in heat or something else?

Question by Allison: Is my puppy in heat or something else?
I have a 10 month only micro pomeranian. She has never been in heat before but has all of the symptoms. Her vulva has swelled a lot, and her nipples are slightly bigger and pink. She keeps cleaning herself a lot as well, and sleeping more. Other than that I see no changes. My concern is that it is about day 5 of her vulva being swollen and she has not started bleeding yet. Is this normal? How long does it normally take? Can it be something other than her first heat?

He’s urinating ALL over my house ( I walk him three times a day 30 minutes each walk ) and he keeps harassing my dog. He tries to hump my dog and it always ends up in a fight. I have no choice but to tie him next to his bed. Once I leave the room he starts barking, crying, pulling and misbehaving. He has a favorite towel which I gave to him but he ripped it up the night before… I just don’t know what to do, & at nighy he howls and howls its a huge frustration for me.

How much cold can German Shepherd puppy can live with?

Question by rahul a: How much cold can German Shepherd puppy can live with?
I heard German Shepherd dogs can sustain extreme cold weather.
- is anybody 100% sureif german shepherds can sustain in extreme cold weather or not.
- If german shepherds can sustain cold weather, then is it alright if a 4 months old german shepherd is sleeping outside in 4 degree centigrade or 40 degree Fahrenheit temperature?

please let me know if you are really sure about that.

-

Best answer:

Answer by *
at 4 months, i wouldn’t suggest it, cuz her double coat hasn’t come in yet all the way. 40degrees really isn’t that bad. if she likes it then let her do it. I have a neighbor that has a husky and i see her sleeping on snow banks during the day, but they like that. Until her full coat comes in i wouldn’t let her stay out there too long, but if she wants to let her, i’m sure she’ll tell you when she wants to come in, but also don’t do it if you don’t feel comfortable with it. She will have a great double coat and will beable to sustain the temps, so no matter what anyone says, she’ll be ok.

Best answer:

Answer by Alyssa J
They can sometimes correct it with surgery, but this is risky in older dogs. Generally it’s just treated with muscle relaxers and pain killers to keep the dog comfortable. Ask your vet what your options are, if they don’t give you any, ask a different vet.
