Humans can only give birth to a baby after ten months of pregnancy. The pregnancy cycle of dogs is much shorter than that of humans. However, giving birth is just the beginning. After giving birth, they will encounter various difficulties, big and small. The problem of insufficient milk is the first to bear the brunt. So how do you tell if your dog’s milk is enough? How can you tell if your dog’s milk supply is insufficient? Next, let us learn together how to know if the dog’s milk is enough.
To determine whether the dog’s milk is sufficient, you can observe the female dog’s breasts. If there is enough milk, the breasts will be larger and milk can be expressed by hand. But if the dog does not have enough milk, the breasts will become dry and only a small amount of milk can be expressed or no milk can be expressed. You can also observe puppies. If there is enough milk, the puppies will eat more full, their bellies will be bulging, and they will not bark, because every puppy will sleep peacefully when it is full.
Can be pinched by hand. This is the most direct method. Use your hands to gently squeeze your nipples. If there is milk overflow, it means the dog has enough milk. If the dog's milk is not enough, the baby will feel pain when sucking, and then become impatient. Therefore, we can observe the dog’s expression and movements while the puppy is eating. If he does not show impatience and does not bite the puppy, it means that the milk supply is sufficient.
A dog that has been hungry for a long time will bark all the time, become weak, and have rough fur. So when the puppy keeps barking, we need to check whether the dog’s milk supply is insufficient. When the dog has enough milk, it will feel pain, and then it will stay in the nest and wait for the puppy to nurse. If our dog moves outside the den for a long time and does not want to stay in the den, it means that its milk supply is not enough.
The above is the method to judge whether the dog’s milk is enough. I hope it can help everyone.
