While playing outside, dogs may be stabbed by sharp objects on the ground or injured by hitting bones. When a dog is lame, the owner should first check the dog's limbs to see if there are any wounds or thorns on the foot pads, and whether the legs are swollen or bruised. If a thorn is found, pick out the thorn and disinfect the dog's wound and then apply Yunnan Baiyao. If the dog's leg is swollen and bruised, apply hot compress to the injured area and spray the bone with blood-activating medicine to remove blood stasis. If you take good care of your dog, he will recover quickly.
Eating a single dog food for a long time without additional nutritional intake can easily cause calcium deficiency in dogs. Dogs that are deficient in calcium for a long time will experience slow growth, weakness in their limbs, the inability to stand up, and even deformed legs in severe cases, so calcium supplementation is a must. You can supplement your dog's calcium by adjusting his daily diet and preparing more high-calcium substances such as bone soup, soy products, and dried shrimps.
