Pet owners should find out the reasons and start with the reasons to help Golden Retriever return to normal life.
- The foot is injured or the nails are too long.
The golden retriever did not dare to let the front legs touch the ground when he came back from going out. It is very likely that the foot pads were injured or the legs were sprained. If the sprain is sprained, it should be sent to the hospital for veterinarian treatment. If it is a back thorn on the foot pad, the pet owner can carefully remove the foreign body from the wound with tweezers, clean and disinfect it, then spray on the pet quick close, and bandage it with sterile gauze. In addition, if the owner does not trim the golden hair's nails for a long time, the nails will be deformed and too long and stick into the toes next to them, causing redness, swelling and bleeding. Dogs are afraid of the pain caused by the wound touching the ground and appear like a lame leg. So check your dog's nails regularly and trim them.
Second, long-term calcium deficiency.
If the golden retriever just can't touch the ground, but it doesn't hurt, then it is necessary to consider whether it is calcium deficiency. If you are not sure, you can send it to the doctor for blood test. Once it is determined that the golden retriever is deficient in calcium, the pet owner should do a good job of calcium supplementation in time, and feed the golden retriever with Wang Ligai to help it supplement calcium in a short time and restore its normal self-care ability. In daily life, it is also necessary to add some calcium-rich foods, such as egg yolks, kelp, and soy products.
Three, arthritis.
The Golden Retriever is a sporty dog with a strong physique and strong bones. For this reason, some owners often take their dogs to do outdoor high-intensity sports, such as hiking, running, etc. In fact, exercising too much can backfire, causing sports injuries and arthritis in Golden Retrievers. In this regard, the owner needs to appropriately reduce the amount of exercise, and feed the joints to restore the weight-bearing capacity of the joints and care for the health of the joints. If the golden retriever still does not get better, it is necessary to send it to the doctor to see if it is hip dysplasia.
Fourth, nervous system problems.
Vaccination and overdose may affect the dog's nervous system, resulting in uncontrolled leg movements. If the golden retriever has taken medicine or vaccination recently, the owner should be vigilant. Some dogs may be like this for life and cannot be treated. .
