Many owners must have seen dogs walking with three legs, but this phenomenon occurs in many dogs, so owners think it is normal and do not pay attention to it, thereby ignoring that there is a problem with the dog's physical condition.

The above questions

When you see a dog that was jumping happily on four legs suddenly jump on three legs, you still need to be cautious.

Dogs with congenital dysplasia or sudden excessive exercise are prone to hind limb lameness. They suddenly dare not step on the ground or jump on three legs, but return to normal after a little exercise.

If these behaviors occur again and again, the owner needs to pay attention to the dog’s joint health!

How to know if your dog has arthritis?

By observing the symptoms of the dog: lameness, stiffness of the limbs, edema of the arthritis capsule and surrounding tissues, swollen joint appearance, pain when touched, and difficulty in getting up and lying down.

With the increase in the amount of exercise and the prolongation of time, these symptoms become more obvious, and these arthritic dogs are unwilling to do some strenuous exercise. If such symptoms are detected early, it is very important to treat the dog in time.

If the following phenomena are present, your dog can basically be judged to be suffering from joint inflammation.

1. After the dog wakes up, its activities are always stiff, and it takes more than an hour to return to normal.

2. Check the dog’s body. At least two or more joints are swollen.

3. The claw joints become fat and swollen.

4. All swollen parts have a certain degree of symmetry.

5. Any movement, even eating, will cause a slight tremor.

Arthritis not only makes dogs unbearable in pain, but can also make dogs lethargic, depressed, or have bad tempers, and their appetite will also decrease! Therefore, poop scoopers must not ignore it.

We need to take some measures to improve the dog’s arthritis and restore its normal self-care ability:

1. Lose weight

This can relieve the pressure caused by body weight on the joints

2. Correct movement, not restriction

this is very important. Avoid long-term and strenuous exercise, and it is recommended to switch to swimming and walking on flat grass to reduce the stress of arthritis.

3. Nutritional supplements

Properly supplement calcium and nutrients that can promote calcium absorption.
