If dogs have these five symptoms, they may need to supplement calcium and zinc!
Calcium is an indispensable chemical substance. Severe calcium deficiency in dogs can harm physical and mental health. If these five symptoms occur in dogs at home, it means that it is already "imperative" and that calcium and zinc must be supplemented.
1. Dogs do not like to eat
The most obvious thing is that they do not like to eat. Usually, dogs will continue to eat dog food and meat. However, in the case of severe calcium deficiency, the dog will immediately have poor appetite, hate eating, and will not have other symptoms such as high fever.
Along with me, I also have a bad mental state, I have always liked to lie down and hate themed activities.
2. Become prone to illness. Calcium deficiency in dogs will immediately become very prone to illness, especially some diseases at the human skeleton level. Some minor trauma are very likely to cause bone fracture problems. If the puppies have serious calcium deficiency, they will continue to develop into joint deformation, X-shaped legs, O-shaped legs, rib valgus, etc.
If the forelimbs of the adult dog are extremely damaged, relevant treatment must be carried out.
3. Incisor teeth are prone to fall off
The main manifestations of healthy physical and mental health dogs are firm and not loose, with milky white or light yellow tones, and there are no signs of loosening off. The most obvious thing about calcium-deficient dogs is that they do not have strong biting strength and they don’t have the strength to eat.
The pineal teeth of elderly dogs is normal. The owner can feed some delicious dog food or soft-tasting ingredients, and also fill in calcium.
4. Dogs with severe calcium deficiency can be found that they will tremble when walking, feel like they are cold, and their thigh muscles look very energy-free. Some even become limping when walking, and they are very prone to fall when jumping.
If this happens, the owner must immediately fill the dog with calcium and strengthen the human skeleton.
5. Dogs who often eat internal organs must also properly fill calcium if they eat protein or meat food for a long time. Because this type of food has a low calcium content and the liver contains a higher concentration of vitamin D, eating too much will harm the body's digestion and absorption of calcium.
