Maybe it's just a small puppy that doesn't grow up? Just weaned for a month or two, the amount of food does not change very much, unless you have that kind of large dog, such as Jingba will not. It shouldn't be malnutrition.

Well, let's make a meal. What soy sauce and monosodium glutamate that people eat are not very good for the growth of dogs. You can add some food to his meal, add some pork liver (you can't eat it for a long time, otherwise you will be poisoned by vitamin A overdose), ham sausage and other meat, and then add some diced radish or something.

It's all right.

If it is a small dog, it may not grow too big, you can add some egg yolk to the meal, feed some milk, my dog is the same as what we eat, and it also grows very good, if you don't plan to feed it too gluttonously in the future, you have to control it now, my aunt's puppy is an ordinary breed, don't eat leftovers, don't eat 3 cents of ham sausage, but fortunately, the amount of food is small.

But overall, dogs that are deficient in nutrients are not likely to grow normally, and their entire bodies may be smaller and more fragile than other normal dogs. Abnormal bone development and X- and O-shaped legs can easily induce hip disease.

In addition, malnourished dogs will also have problems with the growth of their fur, uneven hair growth, coarse and dull hair, ** also rough and inelastic, etc.

What to do if your dog is malnourished?

1. Strengthen dietary management.

If you want to ensure that your dog's nutrition is balanced, the most important thing is to work on your dog's diet. Nutritious foods can be prepared during feeding, such as shrimp skin, beef, pork, beef stickbones, bone broth, carrots, and so on. Of course, these foods cannot be directly given to dogs, but they must be processed before they can be given to dogs.

Therefore, it is best for the owner to follow the professional dog recipe to select the ingredients, and then cook and make a fresh and nutritious meal for the dog.

2. Feed nutritious products.

In addition to making your own dog food, you can also buy some professional dog nutrition products. Because fresh food will inevitably lose some nutrients during the cooking process. Compared to nutritious food, the nutrients in food are not so sufficient.

Especially for dogs with symptoms such as malnutrition, when they urgently need to supplement nutrition quickly, relying on food to supplement nutrition is a bit insufficient.

At this time, you can choose to feed the dog a nutritional paste to quickly replenish the nutrients lacking in the dog's body and replenish vitality. Feed 2-3 cm per week, or depending on the amount of food your dog eats. Only in this way can scientific feeding provide it with the nutrients it needs in a comprehensive and balanced way.

3. Deworming. If the dog is particularly thin, then you can go to the pet hospital for examination, it may be that the dog has worms in its stomach, resulting in discomfort and does not like to eat. So if this is the problem, after deworming the dog, a little supplementation can be successful.

You can make nutritious meals for dogs, such as cornmeal, lamb slices, a small amount of pumpkin, carrots to make nutritious pastes or soft cakes for dogs to feed, you can also search for dogs' nutritious recipes on the Internet to make, feel that making nutritious meals is more troublesome, and want to supplement the dog's nutrients more directly and simply.

Malnutrition in dogs does not necessarily mean that they are deficient in certain nutrients, but poor dietary management can have a significant impact on a dog's pre-existing conditions or diseases. Different nutrients play a different role in a dog's health.

If the dog has symptoms of congestive heart failure, it is important not to consume too much salt, otherwise the dog's condition will worsen.

For those puberty, fast-growing dogs or dogs showing signs of growth failure, it is necessary to pay attention to reasonable calcium intake. Improper intake of trace elements such as phosphorus, potassium, and sodium will lead to kidney problems and kidney failure in dogs.

Dr. Paw Paw Tips: The dog's diet should be reasonable, not that the owner continues to supplement a variety of nutrients, and some pet owners may have a richer family, so let the dog "big fish and meat" every day, which is not good! The most important thing is to keep your dog's daily nutrition balanced, and if you find a deviation, you need to adjust it in time.

The veterinarian will conduct various examinations on the dog, solve and rule out the dog's potential medical problems, and then conduct a health assessment of the dog, and formulate a suitable adjustment plan for the dog's diet and activities according to the dog's breed, age, and various conditions examined.

When a dog is mildly malnourished, it can be adjusted from dietary adjustments, nutritional supplements, and exercise. But these methods have not worked, that is, when the dog is severely malnourished, the owner needs to take it to the pet hospital as soon as possible, and the veterinarian will give it targeted support**, usually including intravenous infusion, to prevent the dog from dehydration and correct its malnutrition. To check that the dog's symptoms are not due to malnutrition, but are caused by the dog's underlying disease, it is necessary to target the dog.

Most health problems caused by malnutrition in dogs are reversible, of course, provided that they are diagnosed and ** in time. Usually after the malnourished dog has been given proper nutrition and the appropriate medication has been used**, the malnutrition symptoms go away. However, if the dog's condition is not detected and solved in time or is not completely resolved, it may lead to some long-term effects on the dog, such as organ failure and diabetes.

Kidney disease, liver disease, etc., these diseases usually require lifelong ** and management, if not done, it may lead to permanent defects in the dog, or even death.

After the dog malnutrition has been adjusted and improved, the owner needs to keep observing it to ensure that it receives the correct nutrition and constantly adjust its diet reasonably according to its changes. For this reason, it is necessary for the owner to give the dog more patience, otherwise it is easy to get bored in the process, but due to the owner's love for the pet, it will eventually be more inclined to adapt to the situation.

Tips from Dr. Paw Paw: The dog's eating habits and exercise are the key factors affecting the dog's weight, and whether the dog's weight is appropriate is also very important for its health.

1. Weight loss

When dogs are malnourished, they tend to lose weight. If your dog's eating habits have not changed, but their weight continues to fall, they may be considered malnourished. Malnutrition can lead to a decline in physical function, which in turn affects body weight.

In addition, the dog's body shape will also become emaciated. For example, the neck, chest, and ribs are seen more visibly and muscle mass decreases. If your dog does not eat less but continues to lose weight, it may be a sign of malnutrition.

2. Dry hair and serious hair loss

When a dog is malnourished, the hair may become dry and cause severe shedding due to the lack of adequate nutrients in the body. In particular, the texture of the dog's hair is bad, and the skin base will become dry.

Dryness** and atrophy of the hair are among the obvious symptoms of malnutrition in dogs. When a similar situation occurs, we should identify it in time to ensure that the dog has the opportunity to get adequate nutrition.

3. Digestive problems

When a dog is malnourished, the dog is likely to have digestive problems because it does not have enough nutrients to support digestive function. These include diarrhea, vomiting, bad breath, and more. If your dog's body doesn't get enough nutrients, they won't be able to support basic digestive functions.

Frustratingly, malnourished dogs can also lose their appetite. This will further troublesome digestive problems and lead to further deterioration of the situation. If your dog has no appetite for several days in a row, don't delay any longer, it's best to take him to the veterinarian right away.

4. Behavioral changes

For healthy owners, malnutrition can lead to behavioral changes in dogs. Due to the decline in physical function, it is difficult for dogs to move happily and flexibly as before. Perhaps the dog will be more depressed, showing emotions such as boredom, anxiety, sadness, etc.

They may abandon everyday habits and pleasures, such as toys and games.

In addition, malnourished dogs may exhibit abnormal behaviors, such as increased picky eating, excessive dependence, and more. Sometimes, this can be caused by other conditions in the body rather than malnutrition, so it's best to start with something simple to find the cause of the problem.
