What to do if a Central Asian Shepherd has a fracture
Treatment methods for fractures in Central Asian Shepherd Dogs:
1. You need to go to the pet hospital to take X-rays first to determine the fracture site. The vet will determine whether external fixation or surgical internal fixation is required based on the fracture location and shape.
2. It is not recommended to feed dogs greasy and other indigestible things. It is recommended to feed wet dog food, and more canned food can be appropriate.
3. It is not recommended to take calcium tablets just after a fracture. Taking them too early will increase the risk of stones in dogs. In addition, more sun exposure is also good for dogs.
4. Bone-setting medicine can be taken orally, and animal growth hormone, calcium tablets, cod liver oil, etc. can be fed. For dogs with open fractures, antibiotics and tetanus antitoxin can be used to prevent infection.
Causes of fractures in Central Asian Shepherd Dogs:
1. All kinds of direct or indirect violence can cause fractures in dogs. Such as falling, running, twisting when jumping, being crushed by heavy objects, muscle traction, sudden strong contraction, etc., can cause fractures.
2. Pathological fractures, such as osteoporosis, osteomyelitis, osteoma, etc., can also occur.
3. Dogs exercise a lot, which puts a lot of pressure on their bones. In addition, obese dogs are also prone to fractures or accidents, such as falling from a height, being hit, etc.
