The dog is a lame man walking on the back leg. The owner should check what the dog is like, such as trauma or arthritis, whether to pay attention to supplementing calcium and zinc for dogs, and what happens to the dogs in daily life. After looking for this reason, use some relative countermeasures to help the dog get better.

1, Arthritis

Some dogs have arthritis on their feet, so they walk like a lame man limping. There are many reasons for arthritis in dogs, such as trauma in the feet, but they have not received very good treatment and maintenance. They have already developed diffuse arthritis, which will cause pain and lame legs for a short time; some are caused by trauma at that time and have traumatic arthritis; some are caused by living in dark, wet and cold areas for a long time, and rheumatoid arthritis; some are caused by being old, brittle limbs and human bones, and degenerative arthritis.

When you encounter arthritis in dogs, the owner must let the dog rest well and not walk too much, especially if you don’t have to go left and right indoor stairs and exercise too much.

2, Calcium deficiency problem

Many owners understand that dogs must supplement calcium and zinc, especially for some large dogs, which have very high requirements for high-quality protein. If they are not filled immediately, problems such as lameness, leg shaking, and twitching will arise. The problem of calcium deficiency also occurs in small dogs. Because many owners believe that small dogs do not need to supplement calcium and zinc, they also have very little calcium and zinc supplementation, so they are calcium deficiency.

If the owner finds that he rarely supplements calcium and zinc for his dog, he should give the dog some ingredients with high calcium content, such as beans, dairy products, bones, shrimp skin, etc., and add calcium carbonate to this ingredient. Since the dog has long been lame due to calcium deficiency, he should eat better.

3, pay attention to keeping warm

Usually, you don’t have to let your dog lie on a cold road immediately. If your hands and legs get cold, dogs with cold legs will have bad bones and joints, which are very prone to foot problems. The owner can give the dog a dog's nest or lay a blanket on the ground to let the dog lie on it and pay attention to the cold and warmth of his hands and legs.

When taking a dog out, you should pay attention to holding it, so you don’t have to fall, twist it, or fight with other dogs. Pay attention to maintenance and the dog's foot problems will gradually improve.
