Is it true Dogs & Cats will miscarry if you bother them ? (17)
MrRick77: Is it true Dogs & Cats will miscarry if you bother them ?
.
I don't know what you mean by, "Bother them," but I've bred over 100 dogs, and have a batch of kittens, and pups right now.
I've never had an animal lose it's babies.... I've even moved during two pregnancies.
I do try to be extra kind to my moms: because I want to develop a relationship with my pups, while they are still in the womb... it makes them much easier to train.
Unless you're abusing your animal, it won't have a miscarriage.

Bothering meaning always there by there side while they are waiting for the birth.

Is that what you're doing right now?

I don't know how being by their side would cause them to lose their pups.
I would think if someone is by their side while they're giving birth they're also there if the mother dog/cat experiences any problems.

Be there with the mom at the birth!
I have saved breech birth dogs, if you see heels, grab them!
I said, I like to be extra nict to the mom; because it builds a better relationship with the pups... being there, is just as important.
Read, How To Be Your Dog's Best Friend, by The Monks of New Skete.
They live in a monestary, and breed, and train German Shepherds...
They recommend helping the mom give birth, turning the puppies upside down to get them used to being handled, since their birthdate, and even weighing them on a cold metal scale, to cause their immune system to kick in.
Cats like you to be there too, my last batch of kittens was born in the dog bed, beside my bed... they will not eat their kiittens, or miscarry if you help them pull off the afterbirth, and make sure their umbilical cords are tied, and cut... after they stop pulsing.
It worked with my Daughter too... I delivered her, with a Swiss Army knife, and a shoestring.
Don't worry, you can do it. :)

If you give the dog Raspberry tea, when you notice her breating hard, or irregularly (going into labour) it should be 62 or 63 days after breeding your dog... (you can look it up online, and get the exact date) that should help with labour, and make it easier.
If you still feel any pups inside of the mom 24 hours after the first pup comes, (Some dogs get worn out after giving birth to 10 pups.) take your dog to the vet, they will give it a shot to induce labour, your last pup(s) should fall right out real soon.
God bless them all to live, and be healthy.
Ya gotta' show pictures.

And yes and no, if one who's looking after knows what to do when something bad happens with dog/cat future parent and knows how to help then he might be useful, otherwise you look after or not you are not of importance if you don't know how to help them if something bad happens

I doubt it. What I have seen them do is kill the baby if you touch it before it is cleaned by them.

I disagree; if you're there, and something goes wrong... you can take it to the vet.
As I said, your dog will give birth exactly 62, or 63 days after it was inpregnated... I forget which day, but you can look at a whelping chart, and know for sure if your dog is due on a Sunday... then you can pay a vet to be on call for the exact time you need it.
imho, It's very bonding to be there, when your pet gives birth.
In college, I always saved my sick days for dog births.... I may have saved 10 pups by being there over the years.... one of my best, I pulled out by the heels, a Red Nosed Pitbull, who won a first place blue ribbon in obedience, against a Standard Poodle, a Bouvier, and a Malinois. The second time I saw his heels my gf got on the phone to call the vet.... by the time she got the vet, I had already saved my dogs life, I reached in, and pulled him out slowly by his heels.
Being there is always better than not being able to at least call a vet.

I have my own line of Pitbulls, my name is on every line going back for 9 generations.
I have a batch of American bulladors, a new hybrid, American Bulldog x Labrador.... the dad is a monster to other males, but loves kittens, baby chicks, and puppies.
My cats give birth with the dogs.... My dogs gave birth and my parrot hanging out, in with the Pitbull, welcoming each new pup.
What kind of dog killed it's young?
There must be extenuating circumstances.
How was the mom's temperament?
Were there signs that the mom was unstable?
I've been around dogs all my life... before I bred them, I trained dogs professionally, since I was 12...
I'm a member of a large dog training club too, most of the dogs in the club belong to, are owned by proffesional dog breeders, who show their dogs.
I've never heard of such a thing, and cannot imagine it... unless the pup already had a defect, that had nothing to do with the pup being touched?
Did the mom kill all of them?
How was the dog's socialazion? was it a pet? used to living in a house with people?
Was it a hunting dog? or a chain dog raised without a close family bond?
Your story is so odd to me, please help me figure out why it could have happened.

For unknown reason the reply and quote buttons aren't working for me here, but the comment button does.
Anonymous 1 They weren't dogs, they were cats. I have seen two different momma cats do this. I long ago learned as a result, if your cat has gone into her hidy spot to have the kittens, leave her alone. She will do her thing and bring them out to you when she is ready. Then and only then may you touch them.

we leave them alone when they start to nest until they have given birth and even after a few days until the kittens are ready to socialize on their own. Mother cat always relocates the kitties when any one of us touches even just the nesting crib.

Wow! I'm sorry to hear that.
It must be something to do with the socialization... my cats tried to give birth in my bed, with me in it.
I could see my cats in labour, so I kept them out of my bed, they had their kittens in my dogs bed instead. My dogs helped clean the kittens from day one, I've pulled off afterbirth, and given the kittens back to their mom.
I used to have a parrot that hung out with all the birthing moms too.
All my animals eat from the same dish... they are my family, and they feel trust in my house...
Once I moved next to a couple of viscious dogs, and my cat hid her kittens, I would take my dogs, and my other cat, and my bird, to the back of the lot, and we would all hang out with the momma cat.
She woke me up one day, with a fluffy kitten in my bed.
I think if my cat hides it's kittens, I would respect that, and leave her kittens alone; but if she's trying to have them in my bed with me, I wouldn't think twice about helping her, and bonding with the kittens as soon as possible.

OTG, the quote button worked this time.
No doubt your environment, that particular momma cat, everything worked well and all the kittens came out and smelled okay to her. You need to know (and this is true of big cats too) most momma cats will react in a very negative way to any smell of anything but her own juices on the kitten until she finishes cleaning them. She is giving birth, leave her alone. Her brain's hard wiring and sense of smell are acute enough she will even screen them for birth defects you can't see and eliminate those too.
Did you not ever wonder about the momma cat that brought you "A" single fluffy kitten when the normal litter size is 6?
