Symptoms of calcium deficiency in golden retrievers:

1. From the perspective of bones, the shape of the bones of golden retrievers lacking calcium is different from that of healthy dogs, and it will be a little bit different. Deformation, some serious cases will become X or O shape. In more serious cases, the ribs may be turned outward.

2. Myasthenia is also one of the symptoms of calcium deficiency in dogs. If dogs are severely deficient in calcium, they will find that they have little strength to walk, and they will feel unable to walk. The feeling of movement can prove that they are seriously deficient in calcium.

3. Whether the Golden Retriever is deficient in calcium can also be seen during the tooth replacement period. During the teething period of dogs, if the deciduous teeth do not fall out for a long time, or if the gaps between the teeth of the new teeth are relatively large and not neat, this is also caused by calcium deficiency. At this time, the owner must pay attention to giving them calcium supplements in time. .

4. In addition, calcium deficiency in golden retrievers will also be reflected in the coat color. If calcium is deficient, its coat color will not be as bright as that of normal dogs, and will be darker than that of dogs of the same age. , and its hair volume is not that much.

The reasons for calcium deficiency in Golden Retrievers:

1. One of them is insufficient daily calcium intake, or the absorption function is caused by poor gastrointestinal function of Golden Retrievers. Too poor, leading to calcium absorption and utilization.

2. The owner feeds animal livers for a long time, resulting in an excess of vitamin A, which naturally inhibits the absorption of vitamin D. One of the functions of vitamin D is to promote the absorption of calcium, and when golden retrievers lack vitamin D, it will inevitably lead to calcium deficiency.
