Identifying the Puppies of Litter It is fundamental to carefully identify each newborn puppy, even the ones that are dead. For this, you will make a graph indicating time of birth, the sex of the newly born, the amount of time dedicated to the recuperation or respiratory stimulation, if it has been necessary to intervene or if the mother has taken care of everything, if the puppy has been born with or without the sack or membrane and if the placenta came with him or not. And, lastly, any special characteristic that identifies and distinguishes him from his siblings. All this information will be really useful in the following days in order to verify his growth and also to recognize any reasons that might be causing difficulties to the growth. One thing you can do to differentiate the puppies is use different color nail polish on each puppy. |
