Dogs always have lame legs. The owner should not turn a deaf ear to them. They should find the reason for lame legs as soon as possible, and then treat them accordingly to the symptomatic treatment to prevent more obvious problems and personal safety in the dogs. Here are some examples of the common reasons for dog lame legs to help the owner compare and refer to it.
1. Excessive fatigue.
If the owner has been practicing dogs with high resilience, or walks the cat and dog while riding an electric bike, allowing the dog to run for a long time, the dog will walk and lame due to excessive fatigue. This is the same principle as the muscle pain in people after excessive exercise. The owner should effectively allocate fitness exercises and give the dog a moderate rest.
2. Foot injury.
If the dog's feet are scratched and cut, the dog will not dare to walk straight due to pain. Therefore, the owner must carefully check the dog's legs and see if there is any injury. Immediately clean the wound, remove the dirt from the wound, and sprinkle it with pets and tie it up. If your dog's nails grow, you need to cut them immediately. If your fingernails are too long and pierced, they will cause pain. If it is ligament rupture and contusion and bone fracture, it needs to be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately.
3. Long-term calcium deficiency.
Long-term calcium deficiency is also a common cause of dogs to have lame legs. In addition to walking on the slope, they will continue to have small height, deformed legs, and weak limbs. Therefore, the owner must adopt calcium supplementation measures as soon as possible to help the dog fill calcium and restore its self-control ability. You can feed shrimp skin, seaweed, black sesame and other calcium-containing foods, and add wanglige to the dog food, which can well fill calcium and vitamins.
4. Bone joint problems.
Large dogs and some dogs with longer spines, such as corgis and dachshunds, are more likely to have bone and joint problems, which is also determined based on physiological structure and their genetic elements. In addition, long-term sleep in a wet and cold natural environment, excessive exercise, frequent ladders, etc. can also cause rheumatism. For this matter, the owner must feed the dog Bone Lijian Beef and Mutton ingots to reduce the intensity of exercise, and keep the bones and joints warm. If the condition is mild, it will gradually recover. If it is serious, it is recommended to send it to the hospital for physical examination immediately and conduct surgical treatment if necessary.
These four reasons are several main factors that cause dogs to have lame legs. If the owner notices that their dogs have lame legs, he must pay attention to it and treat it immediately.
