If a dog limps on the front leg, it may be traumatized, such as a cushion being stabbed by a dirty thing; or it may be twisted; arthritis; and dogs have serious calcium deficiency. Different reasons match different solutions. The owner should look for the reason why the dog's legs are lame, and then use appropriate countermeasures to help the dog, and the dog will gradually get better.

The dog has limping on its front legs, and the trauma is the first to consider. Therefore, the owner must immediately check the dog's hands and legs, especially the seat cushions. When some dogs walk, they step on glass residue, pointed stones or other artifacts and are scratched, or the dog is twisted. If the dog is traumatized, the owner should solve the wound for the dog. If the injury is serious, take the dog to the pet clinic for inspection and the doctor will solve the problem.

Dogs exercise excessively; if they stand for a long time and lie down for a long time, they will also experience temporary limping. This situation will generally be better if they walk for a while, and it does not require unique solutions.

If the dog is not traumatized, the greater may be arthritis or serious calcium deficiency. First of all, let’s talk about the difficulty of joints. If a dog hurts the joints, it will develop subacute arthritis; excessive exercise and excessive exercise are not good for joints; it is very easy to have degenerative arthritis after being old.

When dogs have arthritis, the owner should give the dog some nutritional cream to maintain joints, and should also pay attention to keeping the dog's hands and legs warm; let the dog live in a dry and warm area, let the dog lie flat and rest more often, and do not exercise too much.
