When you find abnormalities in your dog's legs, first check whether the dog's legs are blue and swollen, and you can spray some bruises and sprains medicine Promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis to speed up recovery. It may also be that the dog's soft foot pads were punctured by sharp objects such as broken glass.

Many owners think that if they gave their dogs some calcium tablets when they were young, it would be enough to just eat dog food when they grow up, without the need for additional calcium supplements. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Dog food only meets the dog’s basic food and clothing, but cannot meet all the dog’s nutritional needs. As for calcium, it is recommended that the best way is to feed the dog calcium vitamins and supplement them. Along with calcium, it also supplements vitamins and a variety of trace elements to promote calcium absorption, deposition and bone development.
Dogs who eat a single type of dog food for a long time are prone to calcium deficiency, because the calcium content in dog food is very little or even nonexistent. If a dog is deficient in calcium for a long time, it is easy to suffer from osteoporosis, which will cause the dog to suffer from osteoporosis. Joint pain, symptoms of limping and not daring to touch the ground with one foot. If the dog does not dare to touch the ground due to accidental injury or fracture, it means that the dog's calcium deficiency is very serious. You can give the dog some high-efficiency calcium supplement products, such as Wangxiang Calcium Vitamin A to supplement the dog. Calcium and vitamins are more effective when mixed together.
For dogs who often sleep on the floor or in relatively humid places, they are very likely to suffer from joint rheumatism. Arthritis is the biggest enemy of dogs. One in five middle-aged dogs and one in ten elderly dogs will suffer from arthritis. When it’s rainy or winter, the dog will bark inexplicably and won’t let people touch its hind legs. It has the following symptoms:
1. After waking up, my limbs are always stiff.
2. Does not like to move around and has difficulty getting up and lying down.
3. The claw joints become fat and swollen.
4. Walking with a limp, one foot cannot touch the ground.
5. Any movement, even eating, will cause a slight tremor.
If the dog has the above symptoms, it is likely that the dog has arthritis. If it is not very serious, you can try to give the dog some Wangxiang Joint Bao as an auxiliary treatment. In severe cases, you need to go to a pet hospital for treatment. Surgical treatment, of course, involves certain risks. My personal suggestion is to avoid surgery without surgery.
When the nails on the dog’s paws are too long, they may hurt themselves when they step on the ground, so some dogs will choose to cut their nails. The legs are raised so that it looks like he has difficulty moving. Under normal circumstances, the dog passesThis will not happen if the paws are over-grinded, but it may also be that the dog is too small or the space for daily activities is small and there is no place to sharpen the paws. Dog owners can use pet nail clippers to cut their dogs' nails that are too long, but be careful not to cut to the bleeding line.
A variety of direct or indirect violence can cause fractures in dogs. Such as falling, running, twisting when jumping, being crushed by heavy objects, muscle traction, sudden strong contraction, etc., can cause fractures. The specific symptoms of fractures are:
1. Transformation
2. Displacement of both ends of the fracture (such as angular displacement, longitudinal axis displacement, lateral displacement, rotational displacement, etc.)
3. The affected limb is shortened
