We all know that a dog will give birth to several litters in a litter, and this process will last for a long time, so many poop scrapers are curious, how to make sure that the dog has completely given birth to litters? Want to know how to tell if your dog has finished giving birth? In fact, we can judge from these angles. Let’s take a look at how to confirm that the dog’s birth is over.

1. Observe whether the dog still has uterine contractions

First of all, the dog will generally stop uterine contractions after giving birth. Secondly, the abdomen will shrink, but it will not shrink to the normal abdominal circumference in a short period of time. Then the female dog will begin to accept the sucking of the puppy and will slowly and actively look for food. If your dog stops having contractions and has an appetite, she's usually done giving birth.

2. Palpate the dog's abdomen with your hands to see if the fetus can be clearly felt

When all the puppies in the dog's belly are born, the dog's belly will become deflated because there are no puppies in the belly. It will be soft when pressed and there will be no hard lumps. At this time, the owner can try to touch the dog's abdomen with his hand to feel whether there is still a fetus. If not, it means the dog has given birth.

3. Check whether the dog's placenta has been expelled

After the dog has expelled all the fetuses, it will expel the placenta. If the owner sees that the dog's placenta has slipped out smoothly and there is no continued exertion on the abdomen, then it can be determined that all the dog babies have been born and the entire birth process has been completed.

4. Go to a pet hospital for a B-ultrasound examination

If the owner is worried, you can also take the dog to a nearby pet hospital for a B-ultrasound examination to see if there is still a fetus in the uterus. This is also the most accurate way to judge whether the dog has given birth.

Note: If a dog has a dystocia and a stillborn fetus is left in the abdomen and is not expelled in time, it may cause endometritis, infertility or even sepsis. Therefore, when it is suspected that a fetus is not expelled in the dog's abdomen, the fetus needs to be sent to the doctor in time to remove the fetus.
