If a pregnant female dog is unable to deliver the fetus beyond the normal delivery time during delivery, it is called difficult labor. The incidence of dying delivery of female dogs is closely related to their breed. Generally speaking, big-headed dogs such as French bulldogs and British bulldogs are more likely to occur. The reason for the difficult delivery of female dogs:
1. Productivity-related difficult delivery. Because the female dog is weak, the array shrinks and force is weak, the array shrinks and breaks water too early, causing the uterus itself to be diseased.
2. Delayed birth canal. Uterine torsion, cervical stenosis, cervical malformation, vagina and vaginal stenosis, resulting in birth canal tumors, pelvic stenosis and deformation.
3. Fetal dysfunction. In the uterus, there are too many fetuses, and the twins are difficult to give birth (twins squeeze into the birth canal at the same time and fetal malformation), and other factors such as irregular fetal position, improper fetal posture or direction.
Difficulty symptoms of female dogs:
1. Past medical history of dysfunction or reproductive tract obstruction; rectal cooling (dropped to 37℃) lasts for 24 hours without delivery;
2. Strong contraction of the abdominal wall lasts for 30-60 minutes, and the newborn fetus does not produce;
3. Active delivery for 1-2 hours without a baby;
4. During active delivery, the rest period exceeds 2 hours;
5. Dogs suffer obvious pain (moaning, licking and gnawing on the vagina); vaginal darkness, pus or blood-like secretions are discharged;
6. Pregnancy period is prolonged (moaning more than 65 days).
Female dogs are suffering from labor at night, when the due date is approaching, you must contact the nearby animal hospital that is open 24 hours a day in advance.
2. Since it is difficult to correct the fetal position in the female dog, midwifery measures should be implemented quickly after clarifying the cause. For female dogs with productivity-hard labor, drug induced delivery combined with forceps to pull the childbirth. For difficult labor caused by other factors, cesarean section should be treated immediately.
How to prevent dysfunction of female dogs:
1. Female dogs provide reasonable nutrition during pregnancy. Too good nutrition can cause the fetus to be too big and cause difficult labor.
2. Pregnant female dogs should have appropriate exercise, which can enhance the female dog's physical fitness and increase the female dog's productivity when giving birth.
3. The female dog should enter the delivery room in advance before giving birth to make it familiar with the production environment and ensure the quietness of the production area.
