Dogs have lame legs every time they wake up, and there are many different reasons that can cause this situation. For example, when the dog sleeps, the legs are numb and temporary lame; the dog lacks calcium; the dog has rheumatism, etc. So when the dog has a lame leg, how should the owner assist the dog?
1, temporary leg lame
After the dog wakes up, his legs lame. At this time, the owner can check that the dog just wakes up and his legs are gone for a while. It may be that the dog presses on his own legs while sleeping, or always maintains a numbness in his legs. Therefore, the dog has a temporary leg lame when he wakes up. This kind of situation generally does not need to be solved uniquely. Naturally, if the owner helps the dog adjust the sleeping position when he sleeps.
If the dog is still lame after leaving for a while, the owner must look at the dog's hands and legs to see if there is any trauma. If there is any trauma, it must be properly handled.
2, moderate calcium supplementation
If the dog is lame every time he wakes up and removes trauma, then under normal circumstances, the dog lacks calcium. If dogs lack calcium, they are very likely to develop lame legs and limp when walking.
At this time, the owner can feed the dog some ingredients with high calcium content, such as dairy products, shrimp skin, water tofu, and black sesame powder. In addition, the dog must also be given some nutrient supplements for small pets to supplement calcium and zinc. Because the leg lameness is confirmed to be somewhat lack of calcium, the actual effect of independent diet therapy is not great.
Therefore, you can give your dog some small pet children's calcium tablets and immediately mix them into what the dog likes to eat together.
3, there is also a situation where dogs often have lame legs, that is, there is a problem with the dog's joints, which is a bit more serious. The dog has had injuries to the human bones and joints before, but it has never been cured, or some of them are born with rheumatism, which must be taken seriously by the owner.
First, don't let the dog walk more, especially without walking on the stairs or jumping. Then the owner should prepare nutrient supplements at the joints of the pet, such as Jieliqu, and mix them into the food that the dog usually eats.
Usually, the owner can take his dog to bask in the sun, either on the balcony or under the residential building, without having to jump or walk too much.
