1. Pretending to be a lame

dogs are actually very smart. Sometimes they use the method of pretending to be a lame to gain responsibility or attract the owner's concentration. This kind of situation is more common. The owner of the pet can carefully observe its mental outlook and foot condition. If there is no abnormality and pay more attention and wait for it, it will gradually recover and walk.

2. Long-term calcium deficiency

Calcium nutrients are one of the factors that cannot be lacked in the human body and its bones growth of dogs. If the nutritional components of a long-term single diet are combined and the intake is unbalanced, the dog may also have lame legs due to the lack of calcium.

In addition to feeding high-quality dog food, you can add calcium-rich ingredients such as shrimp skin, large black beans, kelp silk, and egg yolk to help dogs replenish calcium and zinc. If the dog's legs are lame for a while, it is recommended to add calcium carbonate to dogs such as Wang Lijia to help it digest, absorb and use calcium nutrients more effectively, and promote the repair to all normal calcium levels.

3. Arthritis

If the dog often exercises excessively or often lives on the left and right indoor stairs and settles in an excessively wet, cold and cold natural environment, its joints may be muscle strain and brittle, causing arthritis to cause lameness.

The owner of a pet should pay attention to maintaining the dog's bones and joints. It is recommended to first use traditional nutritional supplement methods to assist it. For example, when feeding, you can mix some stamina to help it fill the nutrients needed by the joint, slow down joint decline, and care for the physical and mental health of the joints. If the situation still does not improve, it is recommended to take the dog to medical treatment for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture or surgical treatment.

The dog is cheerful by nature and may accidentally be injured when going out to play and exercise. If its foot pad is stabbed by sharp and subtle dirt such as steel nails or wooden thorns, it will cause it to walk lamely due to pain. Check its seat cushion immediately. If there is dirt in it, it needs to be pulled out as soon as possible, and clean the wound with disinfection and sterilization, and tie the medicine to reduce the risk of going out to prevent it from being injured again.
