1, genetic factors. General pet hospitals receive such diseases are almost all Jing Bar (white, brown);
2, nutritional disorders. Weak absorption of calcium, should be supplemented with sufficient calcium. Simply feeding bones does not work, should be fed daily calcium tablets containing vitamins A and D. Should reduce the feeding of animal offal and offal content is too high dog food, especially do not feed too much liver, liver is rich in vitamin A, is the body must be vitamins. However, eating too much vitamin A can also cause poisoning, too much vitamin A in the body will inhibit the absorption and activation of vitamin D. Therefore, long-term consumption of too much vitamin A-rich food will inevitably lead to a lack of vitamin D in the body, and vitamin D plays an important role in the absorption of calcium and the deposition of calcium in the bones, and the lack of vitamin D will lead to calcium deficiency. In addition the imbalance of the ratio of calcium and phosphorus in the liver, which is also an important factor causing calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency can cause osteoporosis, osteomalacia, rickets and deformities and affect the development of teeth. And the above symptoms are a gradual process, when you find it is often already late.
3, the wrong posture. Most owners like to hold the dog's armpits with both hands and then lift it vertically, sometimes even shaking it violently, which can damage the spine.
Suffering from lumbar disc herniation usually appears after 2 years of age, mostly concentrated in 5 years old. Acute lumbar disc herniation dogs suddenly feel back pain, hind limbs and tail can not move and senseless, howling and rolling when the pain is severe. In chronic herniated lumbar discs, the symptoms are similar to cramps, with the hind limbs curled up, the forelimbs scratching, sometimes rolling or incontinence. Symptoms disappear after a few minutes. If you mistake it for a normal cramp and don't treat it, it can lead to worsening of the condition. Cramping and rolling symptoms occur frequently and eventually the intervertebral disc completely compresses the nerves, leading to paralysis.
Treatment is mostly injections and acupuncture, anti-inflammatory in the affected area of the spine, acupoint drug stimulation or acupuncture. The general drugs are Dilai, Angelica, Bone Ning, closed and so on. Acutely ill dogs can stand within a week after treatment, and chronically ill dogs are slower to recover, usually taking a month to a year.
1. The most important thing in the care of lumbar disc herniation is to ensure that the spine is no longer damaged. The limbs should be held together when picking up, and the waist should be kept horizontal. When taking a sick dog out, you can choose a pet backpack.
2. Because it is difficult for sick dogs to control their bowel movements, it can cause bedsores on the abdomen and buttocks, which should be washed and powdered in time.
3. Food should pay attention to calcium and vitamin D. If your pet's main food is liver, please stop feeding liver quickly and change to dog food, otherwise it will seriously affect the dog's absorption of calcium.
4. For a long time can not recover from the sick dog, we must often massage the waist and hind limbs to avoid muscle atrophy, conditions can buy "field effect therapy instrument" (drugstore sales, ￥ 200 yuan or so) with the treatment. The use of belt-like heating tape wrapped in the waist of the dog, adjust the temperature in the appropriate range, the daily treatment of 2 times, 40 minutes each time.
5. More outdoor activities, ultraviolet irradiation can make the subcutaneous ergosterol into endogenous vitamin D, which is conducive to the absorption of calcium. After exercise, it is best to let the dog drink some glucose water (1-2 tablespoons of glucose powder, add appropriate amount of water).
6. Even if you have recovered, you should pay attention to calcium supplementation and reduce the amount of large exercise such as running, jumping and mating. Going up and down the stairs by the owner of the flat support, it is strictly prohibited to hold the hands of the dog armpits after vertical lifting.
7. Every six months to do a fluoroscopy, by experienced doctors to confirm the diagnosis. The symptoms similar to cramps are found in time to check.
