Symptoms of dog fractures:

1. The unique symptoms of fractures are: bone deformation and displacement of both ends of the fracture (such as angular displacement and longitudinal axis displacement) , lateral displacement, rotational displacement, etc.), the affected limb shows abnormal postures such as shortening, bending, and elongation.

2. The second is abnormal activities. For example, when the affected limb is loaded or passively moved, abnormal activities such as flexion and rotation occur (but for fractures of ribs and vertebrae, abnormal activities are not obvious). A bone friction sound can be heard at the broken end of the bone.

3. Symptoms such as bleeding, swelling, pain and dysfunction can be seen.

4. Open fractures are often accompanied by major soft tissue trauma, bleeding and bone fragments. At this time, the sick dog has obvious systemic symptoms, including refusal to eat, pain and restlessness, and sometimes elevated body temperature.

Causes of dog fractures:

1. All kinds of direct or indirect violence can cause dog fractures. Such as falling, running, twisting when jumping, being crushed by heavy objects, muscle traction, sudden strong contraction, etc., can cause fractures.

2. Puppies with diseases such as rickets and osteomalacia often suffer long bone fractures in their limbs even if the external force is not large.
