Feeding skills
Pay attention to protection from cold and heat: Mastiffs have poor ability to regulate their body temperature. Therefore, the ambient temperature plays a great role in the life activities of young mastiffs, and special attention should be paid to the indoor ambient temperature. The mastiff house should use a semi-circular iron frame net made of thick iron bars. In winter, cover the iron net with plastic film to prevent north wind erosion, and seal the front and rear windows with plastic film. In summer, remove the plastic film and use the iron net to support climbing plants such as grapes and gourds to shade the Tibetan Mastiff cubs. The suitable ambient temperatures for Tibetan Mastiff cubs of different ages are: 0 to 7 days old: 28 to 32°C, 8 to 21 days old: 27°C, and 28 days old and onward 23°C. Pay attention to keeping the room dry to prevent interrogation. wind.
Strengthen lactation: Nutritional feeding of the mother Tibetan Mastiff. The milk production of the mother mastiff has gradually decreased since 20 days, while the milk demand of the offspring is decreasing day by day. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement the feeding immediately to provide the female Tibetan Mastiff with fresh, high-quality, animal and plant-based feed that is easy to digest and absorb, so as to ensure that the female Tibetan Mastiff has sufficient milk.
Improve the nutritional value of Tibetan Mastiff cubs: Tibetan Mastiff cubs develop rapidly one month after birth and have a strong appetite. Breast milk can no longer meet their needs. They should be fed supplementary feed with high nutritional value and easy to digest and absorb. Delicious liquid food. For example, milk powder, broth, cooked egg yolks, gruel, etc. are added to fresh milk, as well as some cod liver oil, multivitamins, bone meal, etc. Otherwise, the growth and development of young mastiffs will be affected due to malnutrition and slender constitution.
Feeding young mastiffs should be appropriate: Tibetan mastiff young have a small gastrointestinal volume, so they should be fed less frequently and 5 to 6 times a day. As the age increases, the dietary concentration and daily feeding amount should gradually increase. In line with the increasing popularity of mastiffs.
Protect clean drinking water: Pay attention to water quality, water temperature, water volume, and time when supplying drinking water. Tibetan Mastiff cubs must be provided with clean water immediately, which must not contain harmful substances, disease-causing microorganisms, etc. The water tank must be cleaned once a day. The amount of water consumed varies according to the season. The amount of water consumed is the largest in summer and cannot be stopped. Caustic soda (made into a 2% to 3% boiling water solution), 3% Lysol and 5% formalin can be used to continuously disinfect the delivery room, delivery box and Tibetan Mastiff cubs' exercise area. Disinfect food and drinks regularly with 2% potassium permanganate. After Tibetan Mastiff cubs are born, take 1 tablet of levamisole per 2.5 kg of body. Deworm them twice at 30 days. The effect is very good. Vaccinations should be done regularly at 2 months old. .
Tibetan Mastiff Beauty
Every time the weather gets dry in winter, not only humans are particularly prone to scalp loss, but Tibetan mastiffs will also suffer from this condition, and the area of ​​skin loss is not limited to the head but the whole body. To prevent the Tibetan Mastiff from losing its skin, the owner must first start with the Tibetan Mastiff. Always do it when it comes to bathing.
The first step: Hair care trilogy
1. Use relatively moist shampoo, and then add conditioner.
2. To help the Tibetan Mastiff clean and wipe its back, use a hair dryer with strong wind power to blow the Tibetan Mastiff's hair. Do not let them dry their hair on their own, so as not to catch a cold due to inadvertent "cold kissing".
3. When using a hairdryer, be careful to use hot air, and blow the Tibetan Mastiff's hair to 90%. If the wind used is too hot and the hair is blown to 100%, the previous wet work will be destroyed. Wasted.
The second trick: cut the white edge of the toenails
If people cut their nails too close to the flesh, they will bleed. This is also common for Tibetan mastiffs, because there are blood vessels hidden in their toenails near the flesh. and nerve lines. Therefore, when the owner cuts the toenails of the Tibetan Mastiff, he can only cut the white part. If he accidentally cuts the pink part and causes bleeding, he must use styptic powder to stop the bleeding of the Tibetan Mastiff. In addition, after helping the Tibetan Mastiff to cut its toenails, it is best to file the Tibetan Mastiff's toenails, so that the Tibetan Mastiff will not accidentally scratch itself and its owner.
The third method: ear cleaning liquid and dry ear cleaning
The Tibetan Mastiff’s ears need to be kept clean regularly. However, the structure of the Tibetan Mastiff’s ears is different from that of humans, and the owner must keep them clean. Be especially careful when doing so. First, before bathing the Tibetan Mastiff, use a cotton swab to dig out the shallower earwax for the Tibetan Mastiff. As for the deeper earwax, ear cleaning water or ear cleaning powder can be used as an assistant.
The fourth trick: Trim and trim miscellaneous hair on the toes
Don’t think that the Tibetan Mastiff’s feet are not exposed to the sun all day long, so you don’t need to pay much attention to them. If the Tibetan Mastiff’s toenails and toe hair are too long, it will not stop. It will affect the appearance and cause harm when walking. Because the hair on the toes is too long, the walking will be unstable and it is easy to slip.
The fifth tip: It is best to dress up with a full set of shearing hair
It is not possible to "look at the sound head and the broomstick", so the PP of the Tibetan Mastiff must also be taken into account. If the hair around the buttocks is too long, it will not only look messy, but will also be easily stained with feces during defecation, causing a dirty dog. Therefore, it is necessary to cut off the miscellaneous hair around the anus of the Tibetan Mastiff on time.
Final reminder: You must squeeze the anal glands before bathing. Secondly, because the Tibetan Mastiff's hair is relatively thick, blowing out the hair after washing is a troublesome and time-consuming task, so you need to spend more time blowing out the hair. Avoid skin diseases.
