After giving birth, the golden retriever holds the cub in front of the owner, and many pet owners will think that this is a symbol of its trust in you, but it is not necessarily the case. The golden retriever gave you the cub to express these meanings, come and see how many you know.
"Why are there so many, I can't see it, I'll share one of you"
Dogs are different from humans, and a litter can give birth to 2-8 dogs, which is a very large number. Therefore, if the golden retriever feels that it is too much to take care of after giving birth to a cub, it will take the cub in front of you, hoping that you can help it share the burden and take care of it together.
"It doesn't smell right, it doesn't feel like it's mine, it's for you"
If when the golden retriever just gave birth to a puppy, the owner saw that the puppy was too cute, did not control his hand, and touched the puppy before the golden retriever mother licked the dog, it will give the puppy a taste of you, and the golden retriever mother will think that this is your child, so she will give you the cub.
"I can give birth to so many at once, isn't it?"
After giving birth to a puppy, the Golden Retriever will also feel very happy and happy to see his child, so he will want to share his joy with you. Because you are very important to him, he will show you the cub and share with you the joy of being a mother.
"Give the little cub a sniff of you"
Once the golden retriever recognizes you as its master, it will also want its cubs to recognize you as its master. Therefore, the golden retriever will take his children in front of you one by one, hoping that the puppy will be familiar with your smell, and that when the puppy grows up, he will be familiar with you and recognize you as the master.
After the golden retriever gives birth, it is inevitable that it will be a little weak, and then the owner needs to take care of it more carefully. To take care of a postpartum Golden Retriever mother, you need to pay attention to the following two aspects.
Provide a quiet environment for golden retriever mothers
Golden retriever mothers who have just given birth may feel agitated because of the pain, which makes them more sensitive to their surroundings. Therefore, the pet owner can prepare a quieter space for the golden retriever mother, do not disturb it, and let it calm down on its own.
Give the golden retriever mother adequate nutrition
Childbirth is very physically exhausting and energetic, so the owner should supplement the golden retriever mother with enough nutrients in time to help the dog recover after giving birth. It is recommended that pet owners choose a dog food with high meat content and rich nutrients to feed it to help golden retriever mothers replenish nutrients and restore physical strength.
In addition to paying more attention to the golden retriever mother, pet owners should also take care of the newborn puppies, so that the fragile puppies can grow up healthily.
Sometimes, when a golden retriever mother gives birth to too many puppies, there will be a situation where there is not enough milk. If the puppy is not full, it will not be able to consume enough nutrients and will not be able to grow healthily. At this time, the pet owner can prepare some goat milk powder for the puppy and brew it for the dog that is not enough to eat.
