Chocolate Shih Tzu Giving Birth to three Puppies - How to help a Shih Tzu give birth

It is natural to feel worried or anxious when your Shih Tzu is giving birth. Stay calm, and watch out for your dog. When she gives birth, you will see that the puppies are so small that they actually look like hamsters.

They are covered in blood, but do not be nervous or shocked, do not shout or scream. You are going to see that your dog seems to know what to do. She is going to lick her puppy, let her. But then observe how much licking is going on.

There are reports that some dogs do not take good care of their puppies, so when you think there is too much licking, gently get your hands on the puppy (put on a pair of gloves or use a towel, and put them inside the shoebox you have prepared).

Observe your dog. There may be a few puppies inside her, but note that it is possible for these puppies to be born a few hours apart. If your dog seems to be relaxed, you can bring her and her puppies to your veterinarian. They might use ultrasound to check if you still have puppies in your dog's womb.

Now you know what to do when you give birth to Shih-Tzu. Once you reach a vet or animal clinic, you can relax a lot. What usually happens is that the puppies get milk from your dog and put it in a box that has a bulb overhead to keep the puppies warm-something like an incubator.

Now remember that the hard part is not the birthing process, but the nurturing process-when you bring the puppies home and try to make sure they thrive their crucial first two months.
