Chasing the tail

For dogs, chasing the tail is like finger biting for human babies. It is a behavior to explore the body and pass the time. If it happens occasionally, don't worry too much. However, if chasing and biting occurs too frequently, parents should pay attention to whether there is any trauma on the dog's tail or whether the dog may suffer from mental illness.

Sniffing the crotch

We often encounter dogs who always like to smell your crotch after they come to you. This scene inevitably made many people feel embarrassed and had to jokingly call it a "little hooligan". But is this behavior of a dog really being a hooligan? In fact, they can not only sniff out various social information from other dogs' butts, but also sniff out a lot of information from human secretions, thereby helping them remember and understand you.

Climbing

Many people are curious, is the desire of dogs really that strong? Why do I always like to ride on other dogs after going out? And it’s really suitable for both men and women of all ages! In fact, for dogs, climbing is not only for mating, but also to declare sovereignty, "Look! I am better than you, so I can ride on you!" Although dogs are obedient to their owners at home, , but when away from home, people also have lofty ambitions to dominate the country!

Eating poop

When many owners see their dog eating poop, they think it must be sick or lacking some element. In fact, you are overthinking it. Dogs just really like to eat poop...how do you feel knowing this fact? Dogs are more attracted to the smell when eating. For them, the food that has been digested in the intestines, which is what we call feces, has a richer and more attractive taste. However, dogs eating poop has also become a channel for disease and parasite infection, and owners should still strictly discipline and stop it.

Pretending to be lame

When you see a dog playing, it suddenly lifts one leg to pretend to be lame, and then returns to normal after a while. Most people think that they are pretending to be lame to win over their owners. Attention, but are dogs really so scheming? In fact they may actually be sick! If the owner does not pay attention, serious consequences may occur!

Limpness in dogs is most likely a symptom of patellar luxation. This disease mostly occurs in small dogs, with Teddy being the most common, and is often called "three-legged jumping." The incidence rate of patellar dislocation is 7.2% among all genetic diseases, which is one of the highest incidence rates among all genetic diseases.

Patellar dislocation can be divided into 4 levels according to the severity:

Level 1: Most of the time there are no clinical symptoms, but when the leg is extended, the patella will dislocate under the action of external force. After the external force is removed, the patella will dislocate. natural recovery, sometimes mild jumping walking.

Level 2: Most dogs often suffer from jumping lameness due to knee joint bending and patella dislocation when standing up, but most dogs can recover.

Level 3: As the disease progresses, the femur and tibia deform, the ligaments supporting the patella stretch, and the trochlear groove becomes shallower. The symptoms become more severe, and obvious lameness may occur. The patella is restored by hand and comes out immediately when the leg is bent.

Level 4: With further bone deformation, the affected limb is unwilling to bear weight and walks in a crouched posture. When both hind limbs are affected, the affected dog walks in a squatting posture.

Every time the patella prolapses, it will cause pain to the dog. If it is not treated well, as the disease progresses, muscle atrophy, arthritis and other diseases will occur, seriously affecting their quality of life. So, what is the end of patellar dislocation? How to treat it?

When there are no obvious clinical symptoms, we can use joint repair drugs for conservative treatment. When patellar dislocation reaches grades 2 to 3, it is best to perform surgery. Surgical treatment is currently the most effective and the only cure for this disease. The way. When patellar luxation reaches level 4, it has mostly caused irreparable damage to the dog's body, so it must be discovered and treated early.
