In modern life, more and more people are raising dogs. If you want your dog to have a healthy body, it is essential to pay attention to the growth and development of bones. Many novice parents do not have sufficient breeding experience and may ignore the dog's calcium supplement. If the dog's calcium deficiency will also cause many problems. So what aspects should we judge whether the dog has calcium deficiency? If a dog is calcium-deficient, how should parents supplement calcium for the dog?
1. Hair
From the perspective of hair, if you find that your dog's hair has obviously less hair volume than other dogs, and it is dry and dull, it means that your dog may be calcium-deficient, which leads to rough hair, dull and dull hair.
2. Joint deformation. After dogs lack calcium, the shape of their legs will also change to certain extent. For example, dogs with calcium deficiency will have O-shaped legs, X-shaped legs, etc. In addition, their size will be smaller and their growth will be affected. In severe cases, they will even be unstable and shaking when walking and standing.
3. Teeth
From the perspective of teeth, if it is a dog in the period of tooth replacement, calcium deficiency will cause the dog's baby teeth to fall off and the teeth will grow slowly; if it is an adult dog, the teeth will not be strong after calcium deficiency, and it is prone to various dental diseases. Because of serious oral problems, it will also affect the dog's appetite and not be strong, resulting in the dog's size and small size.
4. Unreasonable trembling
If the dog always trembles for no reason, parents can also consider whether the dog is calcium-deficient. If the indoor temperature is normal and the dog is always in a familiar environment, but always trembling, it may be calcium deficiency. Parents need to find a way to supplement calcium for the dog.
So, if a dog is calcium deficient, it will cause many problems, resulting in the dog being not strong. So how should we parents prevent calcium deficiency from dogs and how to supplement calcium for dogs?
First of all, in terms of diet, we should pay attention to giving dogs balanced and comprehensive nutrition. We can give dogs more things with higher calcium content, but milk cannot be used because milk can cause diarrhea to the dog. You can drink some goat milk powder appropriately and drink some bone soup regularly.
Secondly, if the dog has a serious calcium deficiency, you can feed the dog some calcium tablets for pet dogs for daily calcium supplementation. However, if the dog has a very serious calcium deficiency, it needs to go to the hospital for infusion treatment.
Finally, in daily life, you can take your dog to bask in the sun more often. UV rays can sterilize and disinfect, and can also promote the absorption of calcium and promote bone development. In addition, during daily exercise, do not let the dog do too vigorous exercise to avoid damaging the dog's bones.
Dogs are the most loyal friends of human beings. In real life, many people regard dogs as their own family. So in the process of raising them, we must improve our professional knowledge of pet raising and let the dog grow up healthily.
