Some parents reported that their dog sometimes has weak limbs and twitches, not knowing what this is, and it shakes when walking, which is indeed worrying. My dog baby had similar situations some time ago. If you don’t know these situations, let me share my experience with you below!
1 Reasons for dogs' weak limbs
Generally speaking, there are three main reasons for dogs' weak limbs:
1. Calcium deficiency
Parents, please don't underestimate this point. People need calcium supplements, and dogs also need it. Moreover, dogs absorb calcium much larger than humans. Generally speaking, people will grow up in 15 to 18 years, and dogs only need seven months. It can be seen that dogs need calcium several times that of humans. If you provide homemade dog food for dogs, you can generally supplement calcium at the third or fourth month. Larger dogs are often the most likely to be calcium deficiency!
2. Arthritis
If this condition has been diagnosed, parents need to take antibiotics to their dogs, otherwise it will not be of any effect on how you supplement calcium. I don’t know if my friends know what drugs are contained in antibiotics. It is also divided into many types, including penicillin, ampicillin, benzine penicillin or procaine penicillin. These are all available. If the injection of amazine is almost done, the effect will be very significant!
3. Lack of exercise
When a dog shows weakness in all limbs, it is likely that it is caused by lack of exercise, or it may be because of lack of exercise in childhood and being too obese, so that he runs very hard. Faced with this situation, the only thing parents can do is to strengthen the exercise of the dog, increase its exercise volume, and then feed it an appropriate amount of food!
4. Dog distemper
Dog distemper can also cause dogs to experience symptoms of weakness and withdrawal of limbs, and of course there are other symptoms, such as purulent snot and eye boredom at the corners of their eyes. For this reason, parents should pay special attention!
The above are several reasons for dogs’ weak limb convulsions. If the dog is caused by calcium deficiency, then the owner can usually supplement the dog with more calcium. If it is caused by canine distemper, then you should take the dog to the doctor in time. If it is caused by arthritis, you should take the dog to take antibiotics!
2What should I do if the dog is weak in limbs
1. Strengthen exercise
If the dog lacks exercise, then the owners can only strengthen the dog's exercise amount and make a detailed plan. They can take the dog out for a walk every day and accompany it to do some outdoor exercise. Parents can also think of some feasible ways to increase the dog's enthusiasm for exercise. In short, parents need to work hard!
2. Supplement nutrition
If the dog is still energetic but shakes and sways when running, it is likely to be caused by calcium deficiency. At this time, parents must take calcium tablets to the dog in time. Not only that, but also supplement trace elements, so that it can help the development of the dog's bones!
3. Other
dogs experience weak limb convulsions, which is actually caused by a variety of reasons. If it is caused by calcium deficiency, then it is not only necessary to supplement calcium, but also to supplement calcium gluconate oral solution for the dog; it may also be because it has been locked up for too long, unable to stand firmly, and weak limbs, but this situation is rare. Finally, families should pay attention to vaccinating dogs when they are healthy!
