How should dogs in estrus be taken care of?
How to take care of dogs in estrus
1. Do a good job of hygiene and cleaning
The bitch will bleed when in estrus, so the pet owner must help it clean frequently to avoid infection. At this time, the owner should use clean warm water, basin and cloth to wipe the bitch's lower body, and change his physiological pants frequently.
In addition, other dog items should be washed and replaced frequently, and it is best to be exposed to the sun and disinfected in the sun.
2. Take a leash when going out
Whether male dogs or female dogs, they will have a strong desire to mating during estrus, so they must be taken care of and try to go out as little as possible. If you go out, you must also bring a leash to avoid the dogs getting lost and mating randomly.
3. Do not take a bath during estrus
Dogs have poor physical fitness, especially bitches and "aunts". So don’t bathe your dog at this time, otherwise it will easily catch a cold and get sick, and the bitch may also be infected with various bacteria.
If you think your dog is dirty, you can use a warm and humid towel to wipe the dirty parts.
4. Accompany the dog more often. When the dog is in heat, it will always think about the opposite sex. At this time, the companionship and comfort of the pet owner can reduce its longing for the opposite sex. The pet owner uses some toys to interact with it, or lets the dog lie on the ground and rub its belly.
5. Stimulate appetite
Dogs are in estrus and think about how they meet the opposite sex, so their appetite will also drop greatly. In order to avoid the dog's weight loss due to estrus, pet owners may wish to prepare some palatable food for the dog during estrus to stimulate its appetite.
