First Pregnancy and Birth of Golden Retriever: Woman Takes Leave to See Puppy Born, But Expresses Confusion
The dog owner may feel contradictory about their dog's pregnancy and birth, it's a mix of excitement and worry about being unprepared, as most people have no experience. Below, Dr. Xiao Ming shares a story about delivery.
This woman's golden retriever was pregnant for the first time, and she was very careful. As the golden retriever showed signs of impending labor, she also took time off work to stay home and ensure nothing went wrong.
As expected, the woman saw a puppy born. However, when she was expecting the second puppy, she waited for a long time…
About several hours passed, and the woman didn't see another puppy born. She looked puzzled. 'Is it a singleton?' She realized that such a large belly could only contain one baby. The woman's mood became a bit complex.
Haha, Dr. Xiao Ming knew this was normal, but he couldn't help but laugh. It's a bit outrageous for such a large belly to give birth to only one puppy. However, this is still good news, as caring for the puppies is not easy.
Dr. Xiao Ming explains: If a large dog's pregnancy has only one offspring in the belly, the singleton is likely to be very large. Therefore, dog owners should pay attention to their diet and not overfeed, and they should also maintain exercise. If necessary, they should choose a cesarean section.
In the late stage of dog pregnancy, it's best to go to the hospital for an ultrasound check, which can provide a better understanding of the fetus's condition and allow for timely adjustments to the delivery plan before labor.
