When a dog is deficient in calcium, the owner needs to replenish the dog with calcium in time, such as feeding the dog calcium tablets, calcium powder, high-calcium dog food, etc. The dog can also be fed trace element supplements, which also contain calcium ions. . You can also take your dog out to bask in the sun more often, which will help promote the absorption of calcium in the dog's gastrointestinal tract and allow the dog to exercise properly, which will help with the recovery of the legs. If the dog has symptoms of severe calcium deficiency and affects normal development, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for examination and treatment immediately.

1. Eat properly

When raising dogs on a daily basis, you can choose foods rich in calcium, such as shrimp, eggs, bone soup, etc. You can also directly supplement calcium preparations for dogs to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients. While supplementing your dog with calcium, you can also feed your dog an appropriate amount of vitamin D to help with the absorption of calcium.

Be sure to choose pet-specific medicines and health care products, and never use human medicines on dogs, otherwise they may cause vomiting and diarrhea. In severe cases, it can also lead to drug poisoning and death of dogs.

2. Get more sun

Taking your dog out to bask in the sun every day can also promote the absorption of calcium, supplement the vitamin D in your dog's body, and increase your dog's amount of exercise. But if it’s hot summer, don’t take your dog out to bask in the sun, otherwise it’s easy to suffer from heatstroke.

3. Seek medical treatment promptly

If the dog's symptoms of calcium deficiency are severe and have caused low immunity, weight loss and other serious conditions, the owner needs to take the dog to a pet hospital for medical treatment as soon as possible, and wait until the dog's condition improves significantly before taking the dog home for feeding.

Note: Dogs may also have joint problems if they are deficient in calcium. It is recommended that owners pay more attention to the dog's joints to see if there is lameness or arthritis.
