What Is the Dog Birth Process Like? A Detailed Guide to the Full Whelping Process in Female Dogs
Dogs are polytocous animals, and because breeds differ, the number of puppies per litter also varies. Generally, small breeds have 1-4 puppies per litter, at most 6. Medium and large breeds usually have 6-9, at fewest 1-2, at most 12-13, and the recorded maximum is 25.

A Detailed Guide to Practical Methods for Identifying Estrus in Foxes, Raccoon Dogs and Mink
I. Estrus identification in foxes: For the fox estrus period, the silver fox (silver-black fox) is generally from mid-January to mid-March; the Arctic fox (blue fox) is from mid-February to late April. Estrus in male foxes is easy to determine.

Estrus identification in female foxes is relatively complicated; commonly used identification methods include the vulva observation method, the pair-pen teasing method,

A Detailed Guide to Eye Care Methods for Healthy Dogs
--For routine protection of the eye area, always check for eye discharge; when there is discharge, have the dog close its eyes and clean it off with a wet wipe or damp cotton swab. If both eyes are tearful, there may be problems such as ingrown eyelashes, and a veterinarian should be consulted.

A Detailed Guide to the Correct Way to Apply Eye Drops to Dogs
Common eye diseases can all cause tearing or excessive discharge. If left untreated, this discharge will inevitably soil the hair on the dog's face. Before applying eye drops, first use damp cotton wool to carefully wipe away the dirt at the corners of the dog's eyes. Wash the dog's eyes with warm water or eye wash prescribed by a veterinarian. Human eye drops must not be used. Be careful not to get cotton fibers into the eyes. Gently hold the dog and open its eyes; to keep the dog from being frightened, apply the eye drops from behind its head. After applying, let the medication remain in the eye for a little longer.

My Dog Won't Eat? "Doctor, my dog hasn't eaten for a week and keeps vomiting. In the past, I just gave him cold medicine and he got better. Why is it so serious this time?"

How should you plan a puppy's diet? A scientific feeding guide for young dogs
Before a dog has fully matured, it should continue to be fed on a growth-stage diet. It needs this highly nutritious food to complete its development and consolidate the growth of its muscles, bones and other organs.
