When Is Birth Stage Over?

You can call it a day when you notice that the bitch is relaxed and calm; besides, you must feel around the little but to make sure there is nothing left in the uterine horns. Once you are certain that the womb is empty, proceed with the cleansing of the area where the whole process has taken place and where the puppies are going to return to along with her mother. Remove anything and everything that is stained or dirty and place new cloths on the mat. If necessary, also put an electrical hot pad under the pad to warm the place up. Once everything is set, help the mother to her "spot" and make sure that all the puppies gather around for their milk.
