The following symptoms give evidence of labor approach: Cane Corso
bitch becomes anxious, refuses to meal; hurried breathing and jerk
of muscles are observed in her. Mammary glands are markedly
enlarged.
Cane
Corso bitch starts scraping a rug covering the bottom of
the maternity house attempting to make herself comfortable there.
When the bitch settles on the box’s bottom then during perfunctory
inspection of her belly you may even see the litter stirring in
it.
All laboring process includes the three main stages: preparatory,
extraction of fetus and puerperal period. The preparatory stage
begins with contractions. Musculature of alvus shrinks then
cervical canal of uterus opens out being in contact with bag of
waters.
Dilating labor pain usually lasts from 6 hours to a natural day,
but sometimes up to 28-30 hours. Then extraction of fetus comes
next. After complete opening of cervical canal of uterus,
contractions start to be accompanied with occasional contraction
of belly’s musculature-expulsive pains.
Fetuses start moving through parturient canals by turn and go
outside. There are cephalic and pelvic presentations: in both
cases labor can go quite normally. Breakage of beg of waters
happens when fetus moves through a parturient canal or immediately
after bearing a puppy.
Cane
Corso mother herself gnaws a funicle through and licks
over a newborn puppy thus removing slime and the remainder of bag
of waters from the puppy’s body. .
The number of hours during which normal, uncomplicated labor
continues equals the number of puppies in litter of Cane Corso.
