If Keji suffers from arthritis, his joints will swell, and if he accidentally touches them, he will have severe pain, and it will be difficult for Keji to stand and his physical activities will be stiff. Keji, who suffers from arthritis, walks slowly and his activities will be reduced. He will have great difficulty in running and climbing stairs, even limping, or walking in a strange posture, and there will be problems such as joint deformation and hunchback. Keji may often lick his joints to relieve the pain, so the hair at the joints will fall off and the skin may be infected. Keji can also be aggressive and grumpy when his joints are painful.
Second, how to prevent Keji's bone and joint diseases?
1, calcium supplement: In general, good dog food can meet the nutritional needs of Keji, but Keji with bone and joint diseases needs extra calcium supplement. The owner can add calcium-rich foods to Keji's diet, or supplement joint supplements such as fish oil.
2, weight control: If Keji with short legs is obese, it will make its waist pressure greater, which will easily lead to Keji suffering from lumbar spondylosis, so the owner must control Keji's weight to avoid it being obese.
3. Insist on exercise: Proper exercise can make Keji's leg muscles stronger, such as walking the dog, playing games and training. However, exercise should be moderate, and excessive intensity will cause damage to the joints and lumbar vertebrae of dogs.
4. Precautions for activities: In order to protect Keji's fragile waist, the owner must gently hold Keji, and hold the hindquarters while holding the forequarters to avoid Keji's frequent movements of going up and down the stairs and jumping up and down, not to mention training the dog to stand.
