Dog lying on the hoof
Dogs are not particularly common to lie down. Generally, even if dogs have a certain amount of calcium deficiency, they will not occur. The so -called lying hoof is a phenomenon that their forefoot will be completely lying on the ground when they stand. Generally, dogs with lying hoofs are dogs with relatively large bones. Once the dog grows too fast, it will increase the pressure of the dog's limbs. If the dog itself still has a certain calcium deficiency, it will be easy to be easy Symptoms of lying hoof.
1. Causes of dogs lying down
1. Nutrition deficiency, the main lack is calcium.
2. The ground is smooth, and the dog has to be more careful when walking, so the feet will be stronger and causing a burden.
3. Long stay in the cage without going out: dogs stay in the cage long, and the stress of the foot will be uneven, which is one of the factors that cause the dog to lie down.
4. Another dog's hoof type is congenital rabbit claws, not cat claws, with large spacing toes, and hoof types. If such a dog is deficient in calcium, it is easy to "lie down".
2. How to prevent lying down
1. Proper control should be given at the weight and growth rate of the dog. Especially the developed dogs, because the growth rate is too fast and the nutrition is excessive, it will definitely increase the rapid increase of the puppy weight. If the weight of the weight exceeds the bone, it will naturally cause the bone deformation, then it may cause the dog to lie down. It is a very important point, I hope everyone attracted great attention.
2. Another is the problem of uniform nutrition. For small dogs in growth and development, we often pay attention to protein and ignore the proportion of calcium and phosphorus. Calcium and phosphorus are important elements that constitute the skeleton. Then we must consider the absorption and use of these nutrients. While giving them calcium supplementation, it is best to add some drugs to regulate gastrointestinal function and promote digestion and absorption as auxiliary. Furthermore, the dogs have a severe symptom of calcium deficiency. At the beginning of correcting calcium deficiency, they still need to rely on drugs to supplement quickly, but also be careful not to replenish the ground too much. Ordinary calcium and cod liver oil can also be better supplemented by calcium. As for cod liver oil, it can be stopped after feeding.
Note that the dog's nutrition, exercise, rest and other issues
3. Exercise and rest: The lack of exercise of dogs is also a reason for the dog's hills, so you should usually take the dog out to do it. After exercise, you should rest properly after exercise, so that the tiring bones can get a certain amount of some skeleton to get a certain amount Restore.
4. Appropriate light: Dogs can be transformed into vitamin D through ultraviolet rays in the sun, and vitamin D can promote the absorption and utilization of calcium. Therefore, sun exposure is also a good way to promote the absorption of dog calcium.
5. Drug treatment: This is indispensable. Tolfedin4%(painful) plus science calcium tablets can improve this problem. In proper nursing work, I believe that your dog will slowly recover, joints, joints, joints, joints, joints, joints, joints The premise of this medicine is to use it when the dog does not get it, just like a vaccine.
The treatment principle of this problem is drug treatment and proper physical weight. Eat less but must be refined (not running, take walking as the main). Diet must control the weight first, so that the tendon ligament can reduce the pressure. After recovery, it can continue. Don't worry, let the dogs recover slowly and lay the foundation.
