3. Key points of feeding practice
1.Nutritional plan:When breast milk is insufficient, special dog milk powder needs to be used. Feed 15-20ml per 100g of body weight, once every 2-3 hours. The 45° angle feeding method demonstrated in a recent popular Douyin video can effectively prevent aspiration pneumonia.
2.Health monitoring:Zhihu’s top comment pointed out that healthy puppies should gain 5-10% weight every day, have light yellow urine and toothpaste-like feces. Green stool or weight loss require immediate medical attention.
3.Environmental management:Weibo Pet Doctor recommends that when using a heating pad, it should be monitored with a thermometer to avoid local overheating. Recent trending cases show that over-wrapping can lead to dehydration fever.
4. Analysis of controversial topics
1.Timing of tail docking:The latest video by the veterinary UP owner of Bilibili pointed out that the traditional 3-day-old tail docking method has been banned by many European and American countries, and it is recommended that non-working dogs be kept in their natural state.
2.Vaccine options:Xiaohongshu's hotly discussed "antibody detection alternative vaccine" plan has risks, and authoritative veterinarians recommend that vaccination should still be carried out according to the core vaccine procedures.
5. Emergency handling
| Symptoms | emergency measures | Indications for sending to hospital |
|---|---|---|
| keep screaming | Check ambient temperature | More than 30 minutes |
| Abdominal distension and hardness | stop feeding | There is obvious resistance to touch |
| apnea | Fingertip flick foot pad | No spontaneous breathing within 10 seconds |
In the recent #puppyrescuediary# topic launched on Weibo, about 37% of first aid cases were caused by overfeeding, which once again confirms the importance of the principle of "eating less and more often".
6. Long-term development suggestions
1.Behavior development:Zhihu’s animal behavior column emphasizes that short-term solitary training can be started from the age of 20 days to prevent separation anxiety.
2.Sensory development:The popular Douyin challenge "Puppy Sensory Play" shows that the appropriate introduction of litter of different textures can promote neurological development.
3.Socialization window period:Professional kennels generally recommend starting contact with friendly adult dogs around 42 days old, but strict health screening is required.
Through scientific care, the survival rate of newborn puppies can be increased to more than 90%. Remember that every life is a unique individual and it is more important to observe closely than to follow a rigid schedule.
