It is necessary to pay attention to the maintenance of dog bones. In the process of family breeding, it is a very common phenomenon that the dog’s front or rear legs are deformed due to improper feeding.
The way of proper care:
(1) Some dogs are born with susceptible to joint disease. Don’t overfeed your puppy or load your underdeveloped limbs.
If you encounter dog breeds that grow fast and are prone to joint disease, you must feed them scientifically.
(2) Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Alaskans and German Shepherds are naturally prone to hip dysplasia,
Generally, only medication is needed to be effective. In severe cases, surgical correction is required.
(3) Bernese, Labrador and Golden Retrievers and Rottweilers are susceptible to elbow dysplasia. Surgery is usually required to repair the diseased joint.
(4) Osteopathy is more common in dog breeds with large body size, rapid growth and high-energy diet.
Some dogs recover with simple rest, while others require surgery to remove floating cartilage.
(5) The blood vessels of the femoral head of smaller sized dogs, such as poodles and West Highland white dogs, are most vulnerable to damage and are susceptible to Femoral head necrosis.
Surgery is the only way to treat avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
(6) Controlling body weight, increasing exercise and reducing pain are treatments for degenerative joint diseases. The dog’s weight should be in proper proportion to its breed and sex.
Maintaining a reasonable diet and proper and reasonable exercise, such as walking and swimming, are more beneficial to this disease, but strenuous exercise such as running and feeding games should be avoided.
Appropriate supplementation of glucosamine and chondroitin can benefit articular cartilage.
(7) Polyarthritis will disappear after stopping allergy medicine.
(8) Continued use of antibiotics as prescribed by a doctor is the treatment for joint and bone infections.
(9) Dogs with dislocations, fractures, and osteomas should seek medical attention for proper and timely treatment.
Important:
Dogs suffer from bone marrow disease, most It needs a lot of attention from the owner in daily life. Proper feeding can prevent the occurrence and development of diseases as much as possible.
(1) For the health of the dog, the owner should put a non-slip mat on the place where the dog often plays and rests at home, so that they can stand stably.
Because, the dog will change the normal standing posture in order to stand and walk better on the smooth floor, resulting in the deformation of the hind legs, which affects the push of the hind legs to the whole body in the normal movement of the dog.
The abnormal standing posture includes the following two types:
①Generally, dogs with short legs and long bodies can stand Steady stretch your back leg as far back as possible. Such as Dachshunds, Welsh Corgis, etc.
②In order to stand firm, the dog will bring the two hind legs close to the front legs, resulting in a raised hip.
(2) Add a special plastic tray to the dog cage, so that the dog can stand firmly on it and protect their paws.
The cage with the bottom of ordinary barbed wire will make the dog unable to stand firm and separate the toes to grasp the thin wire, which will cause the dog’s toes to fork and affect the dog’s walking on the normal road.
It is also possible that the distance between the two front feet is too narrow, so that the soles of the feet are everted or a looped leg is formed, or the two elbows are everted, so that the distance between the two limbs is too wide, forming a splay of the hind legs and the distance between the two hind limbs is too narrow. .
(3) Because the depth of the stairs is too shallow, the dog will arch as much as possible when going up the stairs. Dogs who exercise daily by climbing stairs can develop lumbar spine and joint problems.
As the dog gradually enters middle-aged and old age, the problem will appear.
Therefore, some breeds such as Golden Retriever, Dachshund, Pekingese and other breeds that are likely to have joint genetic diseases and long stature should avoid going up and down stairs.
(4) If the dog’s hind legs have been deformed, it can be handled as follows:
①Continue 20~30 minutes a day, in Climbing on a flat road. Or buy a treadmill
with an incline.
②Every day, help the dog to do hind legs stretching and kicking exercises, slowly pull their hind legs back and back and forth several times.
