Treatment methods for Teddy fractures:

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 greasy and other indigestible things to Teddy. 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 Teddy stones.

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 Teddy fractures:

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. Teddy exercise is still relatively large, which puts a lot of pressure on the bones. In addition, obese Teddy is also prone to fractures, or accidents such as falling from a height, being hit, etc.
