🌙 Crepuscular vs. Nocturnal: What’s the Difference? 🌙
Understanding your pet’s activity patterns can help you better cater to their needs. At South Negros Veterinary Hospital, we believe knowledge is key to a happy and healthy bond with your pets!
🟠 Crepuscular Animals
Active during: Dawn and dusk.
Examples: Rabbits, hamsters, and some breeds of cats.
Why? These hours are cooler and safer from predators in the wild. For domestic pets, it’s just part of their natural instincts.
Care Tip: Schedule playtime during early mornings or evenings to match their energy levels.
🌌 Nocturnal Animals
Active during: Nighttime.
Examples: Hedgehogs, sugar gliders, and owls.
Why? Darkness helps them hunt, stay cool, and avoid predators.
Care Tip: Provide quiet daytime spaces and enrich their nighttime environment with safe toys or activities.
✨ Fun Fact: Some animals can adapt their schedules slightly based on their environment and owner’s routine, but their natural instincts still influence their behavior.

First-Time Mom: Why Dogs Need Guidance During Their First Birth 🐶
Welcoming a litter of puppies is an exciting and joyful time, but for a dog experiencing her first birth, it can also be overwhelming and challenging. Here’s why it’s crucial to provide guidance and support to first-time dog moms:
1. Understanding the Process:
First-time mothers may not fully understand what’s happening, leading to anxiety and confusion. Your presence and gentle reassurance can help calm her during labor.
2. Recognizing Complications:
Without experience, it’s harder to identify if something is going wrong. Having a knowledgeable person nearby can ensure any complications are spotted early and addressed promptly.
3. Assisting with Deliveries:
While many dogs can give birth without assistance, some may need help with the delivery of puppies, especially if labor is prolonged or a puppy is stuck.
4. Post-Birth Care:
New mothers might not immediately know how to care for their puppies. You can assist by ensuring each puppy is breathing and nursing properly, and that the mother is attentive and not overly stressed.
5. Ensuring a Safe Environment:
A quiet, comfortable, and safe environment is essential for a smooth birth. Being there allows you to create and maintain an ideal birthing space, free from disturbances.
6. Immediate Veterinary Support:
If any medical issues arise, being present ensures you can quickly seek veterinary assistance, protecting the health of both the mother and her puppies.
7. Emotional Support:
Your dog trusts you and feels safer with your support. Your presence can provide the emotional comfort she needs during this significant event.
Supporting your dog through her first birthing experience is vital for the health and safety of both her and her puppies. If you have a first-time mom-to-be, our team is here to offer guidance and assistance. Don’t hesitate to reach out for advice or emergency care.
