What should I do if my dog ??has dystocia?

If a dog has dystocia, it needs to be sent to the hospital. The veterinarian will give the dog oxytocin or perform a caesarean section.

Usually dystocia in dogs is caused by the following reasons: 1. Labor dystocia: Because the female dog is weak, her contractions and labor are weak, or her contractions and water rupture are premature, or Caused by uterine disease. 2. Birth canal dystocia: caused by twisting of the mother's uterus, cervix stenosis, cervix deformity, or the stenosis of the vagina and vulva, pelvis stenosis, deformation, etc. 3. Fetal dystocia: caused by excessively large or excessive fetuses, twin dystocia, fetal malformation, abnormal fetal position, abnormal fetal posture, or incorrect fetal direction. When a female dog has dystocia, she must go to the pet hospital as soon as possible and the doctor will help her give birth naturally. Midwifery measures such as traction and correction can be used. If it is difficult to achieve success, a caesarean section should be performed as soon as possible. The earlier the operation, the higher the survival rate of the fetus and the faster the mother's recovery. Drugs can also be used to induce labor. Due to the weak contractions and labor of the bitch and the dryness of the birth canal, which causes dystocia, oxytocin can be injected intramuscularly.
