Dogs will have a lot of high-quality protein outflow during pregnancy and after childbirth, so be sure to pay attention to supplementing vitamins to postpartum dogs, otherwise it is very likely to have postpartum hypocalcemia. Some say that children's calcium tablets are eaten for dogs, some say that they are diet therapy, and some say that they are taken for dogs' calcium tablets.

First, everyone must understand why they need to supplement calcium for postpartum dogs and why they are so anxious to supplement calcium and zinc after childbirth. Because during pregnancy and production, the human body will have a lot of high-quality protein outflow. If it is not filled immediately, the dog will experience postpartum hypocalcemia, limb muscle cramps or swimming posture, poor breathing, drooling, inability to stand up, and body temperature rise.

Small dogs and their bitches with a large number of litters are more likely to have postpartum hypocalcemia. Therefore, from the gradual period of the dog's pregnancy and after giving birth, the owners need to pay attention to supplementing calcium to the dog.

To supplement calcium for postpartum dogs, they must eat better calcium. After all, they must be very high-quality protein. Owners can give their dogs diet therapy and nutrient supplements.

In the foods that are usually given to dogs, the owner can add foods with relatively high calcium content such as shrimp skin, dairy products, and beans to help fill it. However, since the high-quality protein in the food is not so easy to be digested and absorbed by the human body, it is necessary to give the dog some small pets and children's calcium tablets to help the dog supplement calcium and zinc after childbirth.

Owners can take their dogs to bask in the sun, which will help the dogs digest, absorb and use high-quality protein, and it will also be better for the dog's human bones.

If the dog has just given birth and is not suitable for going out, the owner can take the dog to the living balcony to bask in the sun, and let the dog live in the sunny area and its dry and tidy house, pay attention to changing the quilts and cleaning the natural environment for the dog. When the dog is about one and a half months after giving birth, you can take the dog out for a walk and relax.
