The dog can run and jump when walking, which is likely because it has some physical problems. Pet owners should attach great importance to it. After finding out the reasons, they should use purposeful countermeasures based on the reasons to help the dog solve their difficulties. So, let’s talk about the reasons that will cause this situation to the dog and its relative countermeasures. We hope to help the dog recover as soon as possible.

1. The dog is limping when walking. The pet owner must first check whether the dog's hind feet and cushion are stabbed by sharp objects, or whether it is injured when playing with other dogs, or whether the foot is swollen.

If you find that there is a wound and the injury is mild, it is recommended to use cotton balls and red medicine to remove the wound, then sprinkle some "pet quick-collapse" appropriately, and then tie it with sand cloth to prevent the wound from getting inflamed and inflammation. Then, after the wound is repaired in a few days, the dog can walk normally.

2. Long-term calcium deficiency

In normal times, if the pet owner does not attach great importance to the nutrition and diet of the dog and often feeds a single ingredient or dog food, it may lead to the lack of calcium in the dog, which will cause the dog to limp when walking. In severe cases, it will continue to cause serious bending and deformation of the feet.

In response to this situation, it is recommended that pet owners properly mix some calcium carbonate for dogs such as Wang Lijiao in their daily diet, and feed them according to their age and rest, to help the dog recover its high-quality protein level in the short term. In addition, you can let your dog bask in a moderate amount of sunshine, so that after maintaining it for a period of time, the dog will immediately improve.

3. Joint problems

Dogs limp when walking, and may also be caused by long-term poor feeding of their owners, such as allowing the dog to settle in a cold, cold natural environment for a long time, often climb stairs, excessive exercise, etc. Another type is genetic elements, which may cause joint problems and endanger the dog's normal walking.

For this matter, if the dog looks normal and physically and mentally healthy, the pet owner can first try to feed some dog joint nutritional health products such as Jieliqu for inspection. If there is no progress or is serious after taking it for a period of time, it is recommended to take it to the pet hospital outpatient clinic immediately and use surgical treatment if necessary.

In addition, some dogs are born with a good figure, which is likely to win the care of their owners or to perform a certain purpose. In the end, pet owners don’t have to worry too much about this situation. After giving the dog certain attention and waiting, it will recover quickly.
