Cesky Terrier Dog Puppies
The Cesky was bred as a hunting dog but now they are kept as a companion dog. It is the loving, energetic, and playful temperament of a terrier. Although a terrier, it is calmer than most of the terriers out there.
Like a human baby, the puppies also go from different phases to adulthood. However, time moves faster for puppies compare to human babies. If your Cesky Terrier has given birth, we will guide you through the puppy’s different developmental phases and behavior.
Newborn
A Cesky Terrier gives birth to 4-6 puppies at a time. The newly born puppy is completely blind, deaf, toothless, and unable to walk. It is very delicate at this time because the puppy cannot generate its own body heat and is unable to defecate on its own. So, the mother keeps the puppies warm and help them defecate by licking the belly.
The puppy drinks only the mother’s milk. No other processed food or liquid should be given to the pup. The mother’s milk is rich in colostrum which produces antibodies that keep the puppy safe from infection and other diseases.
Neonatal Stage (0-2 Weeks)
The stage from birth to two weeks of the puppy is called the neonatal stage. From birth to few weeks, the Cesky Terrier puppy fully depends on its mother. It is in crucial time where the mother have to keep him warm and cozy from her body heat. If the puppy is separated from her, it might die of hypothermia.
The puppy needs about 90% of sleep in a day for the proper development of the body and mind. In about 10 days, the Cesky Terrier puppy begins to hear and in 14 days, it is able to see but the vision is not fully clear. The puppy starts recognizing its mother and other littermates.
