How to Improve the Survival Rate in Tibetan Mastiff Breeding
1. To improve the survival rate of Tibetan Mastiffs, you must start with the environment. Move them down gradually, step by step, from high altitude to low altitude, so they adapt progressively. For example: a dog from Yushu must first stay in Xining for a period of time, let it adapt to the environment of Xining first, and then take it back to the inland areas. In this way, one step at a time, moving down from high places to low places, the Tibetan Mastiff's heart load gradually adapts to the oxygen-rich environment.
2. Deworm in time and give preventive injections. Generally speaking, dogs in Tibetan areas have roundworms and tapeworms. Deworming is very important; this step is the guarantee of successful disease prevention. After deworming is completed, vaccinate immediately to improve the Tibetan Mastiff's immunity.
3. Do not feed any food during transport. Tibetan Mastiffs get carsick, and if they eat their fill they will vomit. Feeding food during transport often costs the Tibetan Mastiff its life.
4. A Tibetan Mastiff that has just returned home must not be fed immediately. Give it some water first, and after stopping for one hour you can feed a small amount of liquid food, but do not feed it full.
5. The Tibetan Mastiff's kennel must maintain environmental hygiene, pay attention to cleaning and disinfection, and avoid bacterial infection.
6. Strengthen psychological communication with the Tibetan Mastiff. The Tibetan Mastiff is a dog with spirit, has an extremely strong attachment to its owner and a strong sense of territory. After leaving its old owner and its territory, it will feel very lost and will strongly miss its old owner. Some may refuse to eat and become restless, and some may bark incessantly. At this time, you must absolutely not hit it, otherwise it will hold a grudge and be even harder to manage in the future. You also cannot ignore it, otherwise it will die of depression from missing its old owner. You must be very patient and communicate with it in a friendly way, try to build friendship with it, and help it forget the past and adapt to the new environment.
7. Pay attention to careful observation. If there is the slightest discomfort, treat it in time, give some antiviral injections, and the dosage must be sufficient.
If you have done all the above steps very well, then it depends on your luck. Wait anxiously for 4 months. If 4 months pass safely, then wait through another summer. If the summer also passes safely, it means this Tibetan Mastiff is fated to be with you, and you can breathe a sigh of relief. But pay attention to regular deworming and vaccinating. Do not have other accidents, and this Tibetan Mastiff is yours.
Appendix: Three situations in which Tibetan Mastiffs from Tibetan areas should not be taken
Old dogs should not be taken; thin dogs should not be taken; sick dogs should not be taken
Old dogs have poor ability to adapt to a new environment, are not easy to keep alive, and often die inexplicably without any warning.
Thin dogs may have diseases, or have worms in their belly. They have weak resistance, poor adaptability to a new environment, and are susceptible to fatal diseases such as parvovirus.
Sick dogs need no further explanation. In a new environment with an extreme contrast, their resistance is “zero&rdquo. No matter how carefully you raise them, death is hard to avoid. You must absolutely not have a mentality.
