Shih Tzu - Ways A Breeder Can Influence Healthy Litters
Nutrition is probably one of the most important variables that
influences an outcome of healthy puppies. I learned the hard way
that extra pampering and attention is almost as important, and
limit the things you change in the lives of your pregnant shih
tzu.
During the first four weeks of pregnancy you should monitor your
pregnant shih tzu's food intake. During this time fetuses don't
have a lot of weight gain, and there is no need for the mother
to gain extra weight that may hinder delivery later.
During the last half of pregnancy feed a food that is high in
protein and about 8 percent fat. A good pregnant and nursing
diet would be HealthyPetNet Life's Abundance dog food and the
daily supplement.
Keep your pregnant shih tzu calm and relaxed. Too much stress
during pregnancy will have an adverse affect on the puppies.
Your pregnant shih tzu needs "extra" attention and nurturing. If
the pregnant shih tzu lives under conditions of stress and
without the proper love and nurturing she is at higher risk of
passing on diseases to her puppies, and even to future
generations. Extra pampering is definitely needed.
Moderate exercise is good during pregnancy and for the
development of healthy puppies.
Provide a familiar area for your pregnant shih tzu to deliver
her puppies where she
We Bought A Toxic Asset; You Can Watch It Die
Remember those complicated bonds full of home mortgages? The ones that almost brought down the economy? A team of NPR reporters used $1,000 of their own money to buy a tiny piece of one — and plan to track it until it dies.
Family Farms Dwindle, Administration Probes Why
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack launch a series of workshops Friday delving into agriculture anti-trust issues. Some big agribusiness firms say the forums will showcase a well functioning, free market. Many producers think the probe will expose a system increasingly hostile to traditional family farms.
will not be disturbed. Unfamiliar
surroundings or people may cause her to deliver too soon, or
interfere with her milk coming in as it should and even
adversely affect her maternal instincts. One incident I had with
a mother of mine was when I first built an outside cabin for
some of my shih tzu to stay in, Tinker was pregnant at the time.
I moved her in the cottage. She began labor early. I moved her
back into the main the house. She was unsettled and tried to
keep changing her spot for delivery. She had delivered several
litters in the same area before this with no problem. She seemed
confused. She had a hard time nursing the babies. She would take
the babies out of the box and move them clear across the room
and I would find her on the floor with all of her babies. I lost
the entire litter. I felt so bad about it all afterwards, I have
tried to since be extra careful with my pregnant shih tzu. They
require extra pampering, nurturing and anything you can do for
them in the way of attention, warmth and love during pregnancy.
