Jingba Dog (details)
The lumbar diseases of dogs can be large or small, and if the situation is serious, it is likely to cause paralysis of dogs. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the lumbar vertebrae of dogs at ordinary times. This kind of dog is a kind of dog that is very prone to lumbar disease. Of course, there are many reasons for the disease. It may be due to careless living habits or diseases. Therefore, we must guard against lumbar disease in Beijing dogs.
1. Genetic factors: almost all such diseases received by general pet hospitals are Jingba (white, brown);
2. Malnutrition: Beijing Bar has a weak absorption of calcium, so it should be supplemented with enough calcium. Simply feeding bones is not enough. Calcium tablets containing vitamins A and D should be fed daily. We should reduce the amount of dog food with excessive internal organs and internal organs, especially not too much liver, which is rich in vitamin A, which is an essential vitamin for the body. However, eating too much vitamin A can also cause poisoning. Too much vitamin A in the body will inhibit the absorption and activation of vitamin D. Therefore, eating too much food rich in vitamin A for a long time will inevitably lead to the deficiency of vitamin D in the body, which plays an important role in calcium absorption and calcium deposition in bones. Lack of vitamin D will lead to calcium deficiency. In addition, the ratio of calcium to phosphorus in the liver is out of balance, which is also an important factor causing calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency can cause osteoporosis, hyperosteogeny, rickets and deformity and affect the development of teeth. The above symptoms are a gradual process, and it is often too late when you find out.
3. Wrong posture: Most owners like to hold the dog's armpit with both hands and then lift it vertically, sometimes even shaking violently, which will damage the spine.
The symptoms of lumbar disc herniation usually appear after 2 years old, and most of them are concentrated at 5 years old. Dogs suffering from acute lumbar disc herniation suddenly feel back pain, their hind limbs and tail can't move and feel nothing, and howl and roll when the pain is severe. When suffering from chronic lumbar disc herniation, symptoms are similar to cramps, curled hind limbs, scratching forelimbs, sometimes rolling or incontinence. After a few minutes, the symptoms disappeared. If you mistakenly think it's a general cramp and don't treat it, it will aggravate your condition. Rolling symptoms frequently occur, and finally the intervertebral disc completely compresses the nerve, resulting in paralysis.
It can be seen that the deficiency of nutritional elements, the wrong posture of holding dogs, etc. may all lead to the occurrence of lumbar diseases of Jingba dogs. Therefore, we must pay more attention to the protection of their waist in peacetime, and don't always let them go up and down the stairs, because this puts great pressure on their spine.
