A little knowledge about dog menstruation, what should I do if my puppy menstruation occurs?
A phenomenon of sexual activity manifested by a female dog developing to a certain age is called estrus. Dogs do not belong to seasonal breeding animals, but are estrus after a certain period of time (average 8 months). The dog's estrus time varies for different breeds, geographical locations and environments.
Normal dogs have estrus twice a year. Most female dogs have estrus once in spring from March to May, and can have estrus again from September to November in autumn. If you fail to conceive during a breeding season, you need to wait until the next time you are in estrus before you can mate. Therefore, it is necessary to master the characteristics of female dogs in estrus and perform timely and correctly breeding, otherwise the breeding of the baby dogs will be delayed. When a female dog is in estrus, some changes will occur in the body and surface of the body. Based on these characteristic changes (estrus signs), it is necessary to determine whether it is in estrus and determine the timing of breeding.
Pre-estrus: It is the preparation stage for estrus, with a time of 7 to 10 days. The reproductive system began to prepare for ovulation, the eggs were nearly mature, the reproductive tract epithelium began to proliferate, gland activity began to strengthen, secretions increased, the vulva was congested, swollen, flushed, and moist, and mucus mixed with blood flowed out. Male dogs often come to smell, but female dogs are not allowed to mate.
Erosity period: It is the period when the estrus symptoms are most obvious and can be mated, lasting 6 to 14 days. The vulva continues to swell and soften, the outflow of mucus becomes lighter in color, and the bleeding decreases or stops. The female dog actively approaches the male dog. When the male dog climbs and creps its waist, and its buttocks face the male dog. It tilts its tail to one side, and opens and closes the vagina to allow mating. The female dog starts ovulating 2 to 3 days after estrus, and this is the best time to breed.
Later stage of estrus: The swelling of the vulva subsides, gradually returns to normal, and the temperament becomes quiet, and male dogs are not allowed to approach. It usually lasts for 2 months and then enters a period of ecstasy. If you are pregnant, the pregnancy period will be after the estrus.
Matching Precautions
After confirming that the bitch is at the peak of ovulation, the dog owner should quickly grasp the "Golden Week" of mating, that is, let your dog mate with its dog husband within 5 days. However, even if the dog is at the peak of ovulation, it is not necessary to succeed in mating once. It depends on the wishes of both parties and whether each other has experience in this regard. If the two dogs really cannot mate smoothly, they have to worry the dog owner to come out to help.
If you want your dog to conceive, you must wait until it reaches the peak of ovulation before you have a chance to succeed. The entire estrus period is about 2 weeks. The first day is calculated from the bleeding in the vagina, and then from the 10th to the 14th day, these 5 days are the easiest period to breed. It is best to ask a veterinarian to do a vaginal phantom test before breeding, which can detect the date of ovulation, which is a estrus test.
Most families have a male dog in their relatives and friends, and the other party has a bitch, so they want them to mate and give birth to a baby. If both dogs have no experience, there will be situations where the male dog is not interested and the bitch is unwilling. In order to avoid the embarrassing situation where both parties do not have a "phone", you can let the mother start to get along with the public on the first day of estrus, so that they can get to know each other and become familiar with each other. When the 10th day of fertilization, it is easier to get along with each other, so it is best to let them do it by themselves.
Most male dogs will develop strong desires when they smell the scent of bitches. But not knowing how to do it is also a big problem. Even if both parties have fun, but don’t know how to execute it, there will be a situation where the male dog is already lying behind the bitch but cannot enter the correct position no matter how it is. Sometimes there will be a hilarious scene of the male dog lying on the bitch’s head and rushing around.
When this phenomenon of non-entry occurs, the dog owner needs the assistance to help the male dog masturbate, and then put the genitals into the bitch's vagina. If it can be performed by experienced experts, it will not hurt the dog. You can ask the owner of a pet store or pet beauty salon and ask them to help you. As long as the dog has a breeding experience, it will not be so young and careless next time.
In addition to natural mating, an animal doctor can also help dogs insemination. The method is to use an empty syringe to obtain the semen of the male dog, then dip the male dog's catheter into a little Vaseline, and put it into the bitch's vagina to indirectly complete the fertilization process. Without the process of direct physical contact, a healthy baby can still be born. If you want to welcome a new little life, the dog owner must first understand the peak period of the bitch's ovulation, and then arrange for both parties to mating twice. It is necessary to have one day apart between the two times, so it is best not to mate continuously, as the probability of conception will be much higher.
