The frequency of defecation generally changes with the age of the dog. 1 month-old dogs several times a day, and about 3 times a day on average when they are 2 months old. The frequency of defecation is related to the type of food: for example, when feeding meat and rice, the amount and frequency of defecation are less; Starchy foods are fed for a long time, with more frequency and quantity. Pay attention to the color, smell and presence of worms in puppy feces. Normal feces are strip-shaped, moderately soft and hard, and usually pale yellow. But it is also affected by food, such as eating more meat or feeding some liver, and the feces are generally black.

In about 2 months, if you haven't been vaccinated, you can directly inject anti-virus serum when the epidemic is prevalent or may be infected, which will directly enhance the body's resistance, and then vaccinate two weeks later.

At this time, you can give the puppy some basic education. Let him develop good eating habits in advance. Dogs often play while eating, especially when eating dog food.

Have a health check-up and urine test once a month.

After the first two injections, if necessary, you can strengthen the immunization again and repeat the injection (according to the requirements of vaccine use).

Health care of dogs aged 5 ~ 7 months

Five-month-old dogs still like to chew things indiscriminately, so we should stop their destructive behavior in time and give them some biting teeth. Dogs occasionally urinate everywhere, which may be because some mental requirements are not met, such as the owner often feels lonely when he goes out, or is mentally hit after being severely scolded, and the place where he urinates is not clean and can't make the dog "angry" and so on. At this time, we should not only severely reprimand the dog, but also consider whether the dog's requirements can be met, make improvements and correct this bad habit together. Of course, prevention and treatment in advance is the best training method.

At the age of 6 months, it is the peak of dog biting. At this time, the dog's deciduous teeth fall off and grow permanent teeth.

When he is 6 months old, he can put a collar on the dog and tie a rope to go for a walk outdoors.

Once the owner is a little lazy and doesn't take her out for a walk, it may cause physical dysfunction, such as anorexia, constipation or inability to urinate in some dogs. Therefore, it is the owner's responsibility to take the dog for a walk.

When going out for a walk, you should also prevent food poisoning caused by picking up things at will. In addition, there are many opportunities to walk and contact with external pathogens. Care should be taken to prevent infection by parasites, bacteria and viruses. Sometimes it is easy to fight with other dogs and get bitten or stabbed by foreign objects. As the dog grows older, its strength is also increasing. In particular, large dogs of medium build and above often pull people to run when walking, which should be corrected.
