Funny Videos of Dogs Playing and Barking

What does it mean when your dog is dancing? Rearing hind legs: When dogs rear up on their hind legs, it's a sign of affection. It often looks like dancing when dogs do this together when they're playing. Biting: Again, it's a sign of play. Dogs are careful to avoid sensitive areas on the other animal.

Whelping – a guide to your dog giving birth isolated dog Contents Overview Pregnancy, giving birth and new-born care Preparing for whelping Normal whelping Problems during whelping Treatment for dystocia (problems giving birth) Problems after pregnancy FAQs Before you go! CHECK YOUR PET'S SYMPTOMSPRINT THIS PAGE Overview If your dog is pregnant, it’s important to be prepared for her whelping (when she gives birth) to reduce the chance of any problems. Call your vet for advice immediately if your dog is having trouble giving birth or has been straining for 20-30 minutes without producing a puppy – a delay could be the difference between life and death. PDSA vets recommend neutering to reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancies. Pregnancy, giving birth and new-born care Photo of puppies sleeping curled up together This article is designed to help if your dog is whelping – you may also find the following information helpful: Pregnancy in dogs New-born puppy care (coming soon) Hand rearing puppies Preparing for whelping A photo of a wooden whelping box You’ll need to start preparing for your dog’s whelping well before she goes into labour, and make sure you consider the following: Due date It’s important that you know roughly when your dog is due to give birth so you can fully prepare and monitor her even more closely around her due date. Dogs are usually pregnant for around 63 days (but this can range from 57-71 days). Vet care If you haven’t already, register your dog with a vet as soon as you suspect she might be pregnant. They will be able to guide you through her pregnancy and provide any necessary advice during her whelping. Have your vet’s daytime and out-of-hours telephone numbers saved in your telephone in case of any emergencies. Whelping box Once you know that your dog is pregnant, it’s a good idea to get everything ready, including a whelping box (see image above). You can either buy a pre-made box, or make one yourself (a large rigid cardboard box will often do). The box needs to be: Warm and comfortable. In a quiet, secluded room that’s kept at around 22°C. Lined with a clean, washable, absorbent bedding (towels are perfect). Big enough for your dog to stretch out and turn around in. High enough to stop newborn puppies escaping, but low enough for your dog to step over. Fitted with railings/barriers on the inside to stop any puppies being squashed against the walls. Feeding, fleas, worms, and general care Your dog will need slightly differently care during her pregnancy, including a change of food and more regular parasite treatments. For more information read our article on Pregnancy in Dogs. Normal whelping Photo of a dog giving birth Stage 1: Preparing for birth As your dog prepares to give birth, her birth canal will relax and widen while her puppies turn around into the correct position. The preparation stage of whelping usually lasts between 6-12 hours, but can be as long as 36 hours (especially for a first time mum, or a nervous dog). During this stage, you may notice your dog: Becoming restless Hiding away Panting Eating less (contact your vet if you are concerned or she vomits a lot) ‘Nesting’ – digging, pacing and circling around her whelping box Passing a small amount of red/brown mucus from her vulva and having very weak contractions (but not straining) Just before your dog starts having her puppies, she should start to settle down, ideally in her whelping box. Stage 2: Giving birth Once your dog is ready to have her puppies, she will begin having strong contractions and feel the need to strain. The first puppy often takes the longest to be born; if contractions are weak it might take between two-four hours, but if contractions are strong, they should come within 20-30 minutes. There will be a time gap between each puppy, which can range from five minutes to 1.5 hours. As long as your dog is comfortable and not straining, this gap between puppies is normal. If at any point your dog has been straining and having strong contractions for 20-30 minutes without progressing or producing a puppy, contact you vet immediately. Most puppies are born head first but some come tail first. Puppies are born inside a thin sac, which the mother will remove, enabling them to breathe. After each puppy, your dog should pass an afterbirth (placenta), which they often eat. The placenta is the structure that provides oxygen and nutrients to the puppy while it’s developing in the womb. A placenta should appear approximately 15 minutes after each puppy, however, they don’t always come in order (i.e. a few pups may be born before their placentas are passed). If not all placentas are passed, it’s possible for an infection called ‘metritis’ to develop in the weeks following whelping. If your dog has a large litter, it’s a good idea to stop her from eating too many placentas as this can lead to vomiting and diarrhoea. Between each puppy, your dog should be comfortable, settled and licking her newborn pups until her contractions restart. There will be some clear or bloody fluid coming from your dog’s vulva during whelping, this is normal. However, a lot of blood isn’t normal. You may see a small amount of green tinged discharge following a pup being born, but a thick green discharge without a puppy can indicate problems. Your dog won’t normally need help during her labour, and although it’s important to monitor her, it’s best not to examine her or attempt to help her give birth – interfering too much can cause problems after birth. If you’re worried your dog is having problems while whelping, it’s best to contact your vet. Stage 3: After labour On average, giving birth to an entire litter takes 3-12 hours from the start of contractions/straining. Exact timing varies, but most dogs give birth to their whole litter with 6 hours. The process should never take longer than 24 hours – any longer and the risk of a problem becomes very high. Once your dog has given birth to all her puppies, she is likely to be very hungry and tired. She will need to eat, rest with her pups, bond with them and feed them – make sure they are in a quiet, comfortable space where they won’t be disturbed. If your dog isn’t comfortable and relaxed after whelping, there is a risk that she may reject her puppies and refuse to feed them. Problems during whelping Most dogs will give birth without help, but sometimes problems arise, which vets call ‘dystocia’ (difficulty giving birth). Dystocia is especially common in flat-faced breeds such as Pugs, Bulldogs and French Bulldogs. Contact your vet for advice if you notice any of the following problems: General illness If your dog seems unwell, has any symptoms of illness or is just ‘not herself’ at any point before, during or after whelping. Straining but no pup Contact your vet urgently if your dog has been straining for 20-30 minutes without producing a puppy – there may be a problem. Green discharge If you see a green discharge coming from your dog’s vulva without a puppy it could mean that an unborn pup is in distress (for example, if their blood and oxygen supply is failing). Bleeding You will often see some fluid and bloody discharge during a whelping, but anything more than a few drops of blood is abnormal and should be checked by your vet immediately. Exhaustion If your dog’s labour continues for a long time, or she is an older dog with less energy to start with, she may become exhausted, stop straining and need some help from your vet. Puppy stuck Large puppies, deformed puppies, and puppies delivered backwards can sometimes become stuck inside the pelvis or part way out. If your dog has puppy stuck inside her, call your vet immediately. Do not touch or try to pull out the puppy without specific advice and guidance from your vet. Sac problems Some dogs need help removing the birth sac from their puppies (especially first time mothers). Give your dog a chance to remove it herself, but if she hasn’t removed it fairly quickly after a puppy is born you may need to help her. Simply tear a hole in the sac and free the puppy’s head so they can breathe. Avoid using scissors, just tear a hole using your fingers – call your vet immediately if you’re struggling. Umbilical cord problems Most dogs nibble through their puppy’s umbilical cords (which attach the puppy to their placenta) as soon they are born. It’s not essential that they are removed straight away, but left too long, they can become infected or cause problems. If any of your puppies still have their umbilical cords attached a few hours after they are born, you may need to tie and cut them off yourself. You may also need to tie off any cords that are bleeding (often caused by the mother overenthusiastically nibbling them). Always call your vet for advice about how to properly tie and cut an umbilical cord – doing it incorrectly could cause an infection or hurt the puppy. No puppies If your dog has been confirmed pregnant, and hasn’t shown any signs of labour a few days after she is due (usually around 70-72 days after she was mated), contact your vet for advice. Stillborn puppies Always have your dog checked over if she gives birth to any dead puppies. Fading or unwell puppies Contact your vet immediately if any of your dog’s puppies aren’t breathing/moving, stop breathing, aren’t able to move/feed or have signs of illness. Treatment for dystocia (problems giving birth) Newborn puppy in towel If your dog is having trouble giving birth, contact your vet straight away and try to give as much detail about her and the pregnancy as possible. Your dog may need the following: Monitoring: your vet may decide to keep your dog in the hospital to monitor her and see what happens. Your vet will check her regularly and take further action if necessary. X-rays or a scan: x-rays and scans can help check the unborn puppies and diagnose any problems. Medication: if your dog is struggling to give birth, your vet may decide to give a medication called Oxytocin, which causes the womb to contract more forcefully. However, it’s important that your vet examines your dog before this is given because Oxytocin is not always appropriate, and used in the wrong situation can cause severe pain and tearing of the womb. Assisted delivery: if your dog is struggling to pass a puppy, it might be possible for your vet to gently help deliver it. However, if the puppy is too big or deformed to pass through the pelvis, your dog may need a caesarean section. Never pull a puppy without advice from your vet; you could seriously injure your dog and/or the puppy. Caesarean: A caesarean section is an operation performed under a general anaesthetic to open the womb and remove the puppies. Problems after pregnancy There are a few things you will need to keep a look out for after your dog has given birth: Mammary problems It’s a good idea to check your dog’s mammary glands daily to make sure she’s producing enough milk to feed her puppies, and isn’t developing any problems, for example mastitis (a painful infection of the mammary glands). Contact your vet for advice if you notice any of the following symptoms: Lack of milk Pain Redness Itching Swelling Abnormal coloured milk Metritis (infection of the womb) Metritis is an infection inside the womb. It’s an uncommon, but very serious problem that tends to mostly affect dogs that have had trouble giving birth, or have puppies/placentas left behind in the uterus (very rare in dogs). Metritis tends to cause symptoms such as low energy, reduced appetite, high temperature, a smelly vaginal discharge and reduced milk production. If you notice any of these symptoms contact your vet for advice immediately. * It’s normal for your dog to have some vaginal discharge for up to 6 weeks after she whelps, but it should not smell and she shouldn’t develop any other symptoms of illness. Eclampsia (hypocalcaemia) Eclampsia (otherwise known as puerperal tetany and hypocalcaemia) is a life threatening condition caused by low calcium, which tends to develop in the last few weeks of pregnancy/first few weeks after giving birth. It is most common in small dogs with large litters, dogs that haven’t had the correct nutrition in their pregnancy and dogs producing a lot of milk. Dogs that have been supplemented with calcium throughout pregnancy are also at a higher risk of eclampsia, which may seem surprising, but calcium supplements actually make eclampsia more likely because the body becomes reliant on them and unable to use its own calcium when necessary. Symptoms of eclampsia include drooling, stiffness, becoming weak and wobbly, acting differently, muscle twitching, spasms and eventually seizures. If you notice any of these symptoms before, during or after your dog is giving birth, contact your vet immediately. Behavioural/mothering problems Most dogs take to motherhood very instinctively, but some find it a little more challenging, especially if they have had a caesarean, a stressful birth, or needed a lot of help from their owner/vet. To reduce the chance of a problem, set up a whelping box for your dog well before she’s due to give birth, and make sure it’s positioned in a warm, quiet, calm place way from the busy areas of your home. Keep an eye on your dog while she’s giving birth and only intervene if absolutely necessary. Call your vet for advice if you are worried about your dog at any point during her pregnancy or whelping.

Dogs Crying: What Does It Mean? At some point you may have looked down at your dog and noticed watery eyes. It’s easy to assume that the dog is crying, but those tears are actually caused by something other than emotions. We know that dogs can sense our emotions, and we know they are capable of grief, but can they cry real, emotional tears? Dogs are compassionate and sensitive animals. When we’re happy, there they are to wag their tails and share the joy. When we’re feeling blue, there they are to offer a warm cuddle and share the sadness. They are our friends, through and through. But, while humans can cry for emotional reasons, dogs cannot. So what exactly are they doing instead of being overcome with emotion? Like humans, dogs have tear ducts to help keep their eyes functioning properly. However, a dog’s tear ducts drain the liquid back towards the throat and nose area instead of spilling out. So if a dog looks like he’s crying, there might be something wrong that you need to get checked out by a veterinarian. Here are some common causes of tears in dogs: Allergies Just like with humans, allergies can cause a dog’s eyes to water. Dogs can be allergic to a number of things, including pollen, dust, dander, smoke, or food ingredients. A vet may have to run a few tests or put the dog on a special elimination diet to figure out the cause of the allergic reaction. Blocked Tear Ducts If a dog’s tear ducts get blocked, then tears may start flowing from your dog’s eyes. This eye discharge is called epiphora. You will know your dog has epiphora because the area around your dog’s eyes will be damp. If it’s been going on for a while, your dog may develop skin irritation or have brown or reddish fur around their eyes. Seek veterinary attention when you first notice symptoms. Infection If the dog’s tears are yellow, mucusy, or bloody instead of clear, it may be a sign that your dog has an eye infection. Other symptoms could be a swollen or irritated eye area. If your dog is displaying these signs, something may be seriously wrong, and you should go to a vet and get medical treatment. Scratched Cornea If your dog is an active dog, then he may be susceptible to a scratched cornea. Rough play with dogs or cats, running through thick brush, and projectiles in the area can be causes of a scratched cornea. Besides tearing, a dog may paw at his eye, blink a lot, or have an inflamed eye area. Take your dog to the vet if he shows any signs of having a scratched cornea. Speck of Dirt Sometimes, if your dog is tearing up, it just means he has a speck of dirt or an eyelash in his eye. If this is the case, the tears should stop soon. However, make sure to watch your dog for prolonged or more serious symptoms, and bring your dog to the vet if necessary. Even though it might look like dogs cry tears, it’s usually just an indication that there is something wrong. Instead of handing your dog a tissue, make sure you watch her closely, and seek medical treatment, it may be something serious.

5 Steps To Teach Your Dog How To Swim. Doggy paddle may come naturally to certain dogs, however for the vast majority, swimming is a skill that needs to be learned. Here are 5 steps to teach your dog how to swim. It’s a commonly held belief that dogs are innately good swimmers. While this may be true of certain breeds, such as Irish setters, other breeds, like Bulldogs may not be as buoyant. The bulk of dogs can be taught to swim so follow these five simple steps for how to teach your dog to swim and soon you’ll have a canine that can swim like a fish! 1. Pick a safe area Find an area of water with a gradually inclined shoreline; a shallow lake is ideal. When you’re choosing, keep in mind things like rips and waves in the ocean, water depth, underwater plants or seaweed, and whether or not dogs are allowed (a lot of beaches and national parks don’t allow dogs). You should also be aware that swimming pools tend to be quite a difficult place for you to introduce your dog to water and then teach them how to swim, as the transition from one step to the next is not very obvious to a dog. However, you are able to join your dog in a swimming pool and assist with their learning. 2. Pack the essentials Come armed with treats and toys to encourage your dog to go into the water, and to reward them for their valiant efforts. Also bring your swimmers and towel, and be prepared to get wet. 3. Get your dog used to the water Try tossing a tennis ball or toy a short distance from the edge of the water but far enough that your dog has to wade slightly, but close enough that their feet still touch the ground when they go to retrieve it. Reward your dog for going into the water with a treat, and repeat the exercise several times. 4. Provide hands-on support Encourage your dog further into the water with a treat. As soon as their feet lift off the ground, or you place them in the water, assume a supportive position with your hands. The key to teaching your dog to swim is to ensure your their bottom is aligned with their head – you can do this by placing one hand beneath their rump. Make sure your dog feels secure, and that you are holding them steady so that they aren’t actually moving anywhere just yet. Speak calmly and give them lots of praise. 5. Gently let them go Point your dog towards the shoreline and gently let them go. Ensure you are very close to support them as needed – hopefully they will start swimming towards it. If you walk towards the shore yourself, it’s likely they will follow you. Keep a close eye on your dog at this stage to make sure their bottom is still aligned with their head, and help to correct their technique if their rump is sinking. Reward them with lots of praise and a treat, and repeat the exercise several times. Top tips: Before teaching your dog to swim, do some research into their breed so that you’re aware of any potential limitations. Don’t ever force your dog into the water, it will only increase their fear, and may prevent them from entering the water in the future. Safety first! Just like with children, you should always supervise your dog when they are swimming. It can help to bring along a canine role model – a dog who loves the water – when teaching your dog to swim. Don’t ever yell at your dog during a swimming lesson – positive reinforcement works much more successfully. Plenty of treats and pats are essential after a swim session.
