Reasons of mother dog died after delivery of puppies.....
The death of a mother dog after giving birth can occur due to various reasons. Some common causes include:
1. Complications During Labor (Dystocia)
- Prolonged Labor: Difficulty delivering puppies due to their size, position, or number can result in exhaustion or internal injuries.
- Uterine Rupture: A tear in the uterus caused by overexertion during delivery can lead to severe internal bleeding.
- Obstructed Birth Canal: A puppy stuck in the birth canal can lead to complications for both the mother and puppies.
2. Postpartum Hemorrhage
- Excessive bleeding after delivery, often caused by uterine tears, retained placentas, or large litters, can lead to fatal blood loss.
3. Retained Placenta or Fetal Remains
- If a placenta or part of a puppy is not fully expelled, it can cause a severe infection (metritis) and septic shock.
4. Eclampsia (Puerperal Tetany)
- This condition occurs when the mother’s calcium levels drop dangerously low, typically due to the demands of nursing. Symptoms include weakness, tremors, and seizures, which can lead to death if untreated.
5. Infections
- Uterine Infections (Metritis): Postpartum infections can spread quickly and cause severe illness or death.
- Mastitis: An infection in the mammary glands can lead to systemic illness if untreated.
6. Underlying Health Issues
- Conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, or anemia might worsen during pregnancy and delivery.
- Lack of prenatal care can lead to unnoticed complications.
7. Toxemia (Pregnancy Poisoning)
- A buildup of toxins in the bloodstream during late pregnancy or after delivery can cause seizures, organ failure, and death.
8. Stress or Exhaustion
- Giving birth to a large litter or facing difficulties during delivery can cause extreme physical stress, leading to collapse or death.
9. Reaction to Medications or Anesthesia
- If the dog required medical intervention during or after delivery (e.g., a C-section), adverse reactions to anesthesia or medications might occur.
What to Do Next.......?
If you're unsure of the exact cause, consider having a veterinarian perform a necropsy (animal autopsy). This can provide clarity on what happened and help with future planning if you intend to breed dogs again.
