I have raised such a long time dog and have also explained my doubts to many shovelers with some work experience on Sina Weibo. After so long, I have seen all kinds of problems. Some problems are relatively simple, such as how to bathe your dog, and some problems are relatively difficult to understand. If you are willing to respond to such problems, I still have to find materials to dare to respond. To be honest, I have grown a lot of professional knowledge after responding to a problem.
In fact, just a few days ago, another friend helped me improve my professional knowledge. As friends, I first read the physical examination report of her dog, which showed the information on the dog's hyperparathyroidism. The shoveler said that the doctor finally concluded that the dog was sick because the dog usually took meat food.
There are also wrong feeding dogs with meat, so that they are habitually unaware of it. Does feeding dogs with meat will cause hyperparathyroidism to occur? In response to the doubts of the shoveler, because I was afraid of responding at will, I searched for a series of materials again. After several days, I found the shoveler again and confessed carefully:
"I don't know how you should go out to feed meat and cause hyperparathyroidism to the dog. But I have to say, either you understand it correctly, or which doctor is an unscrupulous doctor."
Why can I say that? First of all, people must understand what "parathyroidism" and "hyperparathyroidism" are?
Parathyroid gland, what are your name?
At first glance, do you think this is hyperthyroidism? But in fact, hyperthyroidism is the common name for hyperthyroidism, and people should talk about hyperparathyroidism today. There is an additional word "para" between the two. Too naive, the parathyroid gland is a gland duct located on the edge of the thyroid cyst. Everyone is next door neighbors, so the names are similar.
Parathyroid gland is a key instrument used in plants to adjust the metabolism of the human body and maintain the stable proportion of calcium and phosphorus in the body. Its efficacy and influence are absolutely irrelevant.
Hyperparathyroidism, who are you?
From a medical perspective, hyperparathyroidism is divided into secondary hyperparathyroidism and is secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Does it feel dizzy when you see these two words? It's okay, because secondary hyperparathyroidism is caused by the self-exhaustion of the parathyroid gland, and the external cause of the disease cannot be found. Therefore, what people are talking about today is only secondary hyperparathyroidism, also known as NSH.
The parathyroid gland mentioned above is a tube used to adjust the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the human body. It highlights its own effects based on calcium and phosphorus, and also causes problems due to calcium and phosphorus.
People use dogs to illustrate that when dogs consume a lot of phosphorus, they will cause hyperphosphorus, and the calcium in the human body will be relatively reduced, which will stimulate excessive parathyroid gland metabolize parathyroid hormone, which will eventually lead to hyperparathyroidism. Similarly, if the dog's calcium intake is too low, it may lead to an absolute decrease in nitrogen and may also cause hyperparathyroidism.
Based on the left and right content, I firmly believe that everyone can already understand that dogs often suffer from hyperparathyroidism. The cause of the disease is not the problem of eating less meat, and the intake of too little calcium is consumed. What the dog shoveler should do is to supplement calcium and zinc for the dog, not to prevent it from eating meat.
So what should people do?
1. Find out the reason first.
Just to put it bluntly, there is a result when there is a cause. If you are willing to solve a problem properly, people must first look for the reasons for this kind of thing. Regarding the problem of hyperparathyroidism, people have long discovered that it is caused by excessive calcium supplementation, so people will also look for the causes of calcium deficiency in dogs.
There are many reasons for calcium deficiency in dogs, such as long-term intake of single natural dog food, and for example, eating too much internal organs of small animals causes the increase of phosphorus and harms the digestion and absorption of high-quality protein. When dogs are breastfeeding and pregnancy, the requirements for calcium are greater than usual, and dogs suffer from enteritis, which can cause excessive calcium supplementation due to poor digestion and absorption.
Perhaps there are only some examples around. The reason for the real calcium deficiency of dogs must be determined based on the actual situation. If necessary, professionals can also be asked to conduct a diagnosis.
2. How to supplement calcium?
1. Feed high-calcium foods.
This type of method is the most common method. The shoveler can feed the dog some high-calcium foods and promote the digestion and absorption of calcium according to the diet therapy method. The high-calcium foods mentioned here include, but are not limited to foods such as beans, shrimp skin, and fish.
Perhaps, if the shoveler has standards, you can also buy some goat milk powder or milk powder to help your dog supplement calcium and zinc.
2. Excessive sun.
All normal dog skin contains a 7-dehydrogenated carbohydrate chemical substance, which can be converted into vitamin D3 under direct ultraviolet light, thereby promoting the digestion and absorption of calcium by the human bones of the dog.
Therefore, excessive sun exposure of dogs can promote the digestion and absorption of calcium. If the owner is willing to assist the dog in supplementing calcium and zinc, he must work hard to take the dog out to relax and burn the sun.
3. Feeding nutritional value commodities.
If the shoveler has standards, you can also feed the dog some nutritional value products. The nutritional value products here include products that supplement calcium and zinc and supplement nutritional elements D.
If the shoveler is uneasy about the products on the market, he can also help the dog supplement nutritional elements according to diet therapy. For example, you can feed some egg yolks and sea fish. Generally speaking, 1,000 calories also have 28 IU of vitamin D, which is similar.
3. Reduce the intake of phosphorus elements.
According to the UK AAFCO specification, the daily phosphorus intake of dogs should account for 0.8% to 0.5% of the total intake of ingredients, and the daily calcium and phosphorus intake is 1:1, and the limit is 2:1..
If the shoveler feeds the dog natural dog food, then the approximate calcium and phosphorus water content can be seen in the packaging, and the difference can be carried out based on this index value.
If the shoveler makes homemade dog food to raise dogs, then the calculation must be based on the calcium and phosphorus water content of each ingredient, which will be relatively inconvenient, so that the dog's physical and mental health is the most important.
Withdrawal from the above poop shoveler, people first, whether the wrong idea of "feeding dogs meat will cause hyperparathyroidism to dogs" is his fault or the doctor's fault, at least his examples sounded the alarm for people.
I often wonder what people have created for people with pets? hapiness? Waiting? Soothing? In fact, in addition to this kind of item, raising pets also trains people's care, improves people's kindness, and opens up people's professional knowledge. Especially in this expertise, it is usually all necessary for professionals to produce for people.
Therefore, if you encounter something that is uncertain or unknown later, it is best to conduct in-depth communication with the pet doctor without distorting some sentences based on your own imagination, otherwise it will harm the dog.
