Within a few days after delivery, the bitch needs a lot of nutrition to recover her physical strength and production loss. Therefore, it is very necessary to provide high-quality diet for bitches. Especially in the first week after delivery, it is necessary to gradually increase the appetite of bitches to meet their needs for energy and protein.
Bitches can feed high-protein foods, such as lean meat, chicken breast, fish and protein. At the same time, in order to meet the energy needs of bitches, it is necessary to supplement some starchy foods, such as brown rice, corn and bread. In addition, you can also add some foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as fresh fruits, vegetables and lean meat.
2. Feed the bitch enough water.
It is very important for postpartum bitches to keep enough water intake. Especially during lactation, bitches are easily thirsty because of milk secretion, so it is necessary to provide enough water for bitches to drink.
If the bitch doesn't like drinking water, try feeding the bitch dog food with water. In addition, when feeding, you can also add some warm water to make the dog more acceptable.
3. Avoid feeding the bitch unhealthy food.
In the first few days after delivery, avoid feeding the bitch too greasy or food containing a lot of additives. These foods may adversely affect the health of bitches, and even affect the quality and quantity of milk produced by bitches.
In addition, some digestible foods, such as rice and chicken breast, also need to be properly controlled. Because if you eat too much, it may lead to gastrointestinal problems in the bitch. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the balanced diet of the bitch and supplement various nutrients in an appropriate amount.
4. Make proper diet adjustment according to the bitch's condition.
Every bitch's postpartum recovery is different. Some bitches may need more nutritional supplements, while others may need more exercise to recover. Therefore, the diet provided to the bitch also needs to be properly adjusted according to the condition of the bitch.
When the bitch fully adapts to the process of childbirth and lactation, she can gradually reduce her diet to a normal diet. At the same time, pay attention to avoid overfeeding, so as not to cause health problems such as overweight bitch.
