    No, the angle of the femoral head and femur: The reason why the hind foot will be the outer eight is that when a dog with hip dysstructure, he will walk when the angle of his femoral head and femur is greater than the normal angle, and when the angle of the femoral head and femur is less than the normal angle, he will walk the outer eight. Angles of the femoral head and fossa:

    The angle of the femoral head and the socket is normally at a 90-degree angle, and when the angle is backward or forward, it will walk on the outer or inner eight.

    In the process of growing up, the dog's walking posture has a certain hereditary nature, which is also related to human training, and this situation may also be a lack of nutrients in the body.

    Calcium deficiency in dogs can lead to leg exposition, rib valgus, joint deformation, and even lameness in severe cases!

  5. Anonymous users2024-02-08

    To sum up, there are no more than several reasons:1The lack of certain elements in the dog's body, the outside of the leg is largely caused by a lack of calcium, or the improper calcium supplementation method leads to the non-absorption of calcium, which is common in dogs when they are young.

    For example, many dog owners give their puppies liquid calcium, but they don't know how much the dog does not absorb at all, but excretes with urine, which is useless. Dogs will be severely deficient in calcium for a long time, and it is not surprising that the legs are eight characters. 2.

    Most have to do with the environment. The environment in which the dog lives is very slippery, and the floor tiles used are very smooth. When the dog walks on a very smooth floor and has too much weight on its forelimbs, it must be supported with more force than usual, and over time it will be easy to get out of the figure!

    3.You may have arthritic diseases, it is recommended to go to the pet hospital to take a specific look, or buy ** drugs for dog joint diseases, such as joint life on the market.

    Hello, the mountain search to supplement the dog with calcium, pay attention to control the dog's usual exercise, it is best to give the dog a period of recuperation. At the same time of self-cultivation, give the dog some special calcium supplements for calcium supplementation. Take the dog out to bask in the sun, supplement calcium as much as possible, and pay more attention to the leakage and joints, and give the dog some special medicine for joint treatment.

    If the condition is severe, you can go for a calcium injection. If the dog's condition is more serious, the dog often cramps, and then the dog absorbs calcium slowly, it is recommended that the pet owner take the dog to the pet hospital in time, so that the veterinarian needs to give the dog an infusion of calcium. Generally, infusion calcium supplementation can help dogs replenish their body's calcium in a timely manner, but calcium injections can not be played often, and only under the guidance of veterinarians can the dog be given calcium injections.

    Dogs walk in the figure eight or habitual reasons, common in dogs often indoors; The dog's inner eight or the joint deformation caused by the cage; or bone development problems caused by growing too fast and not keeping up with nutrition; or the inner eight formed by lack of exercise, pain, etc. When dogs sit, their hind legs are bent into a figure-eight, and due to the frequency of sitting, they will form a habit and maintain the posture when sitting even when they stand up. This condition is more common in dogs that are often indoors.

    Dogs in cages, no matter how long or short they are closed, will have the problem of deformation of the joints of the hind legs, especially medium and large dogs, often kept in captivity in a small space, habitually sedentary, and basically have weak hind legs.

    The above two conditions generally need to be free-range, which will be relieved after regular exercise. However, if the joint deformity is caused by the development period of childhood, it may take a long time to correct.

    Especially for medium and large dogs, if the nutrition cannot keep up or excessive supplementation, it may lead to bone and joint development problems, and incorrect walking posture.

    According to the actual needs, give the dog some nutrients that are helpful for joint and bone growth. The most basic methods to promote absorption are to repel insects and improve gastrointestinal digestion. The former should take insecticide on time, and the latter should be fed on time, exercise more, and feed an appropriate amount of yogurt.

    This is the most common problem in medium and large dogs, not enough exercise, the hind legs will become less and less powerful, and the longer the time, the more and more unable to stand straight.

    Sustained running endurance training and chase training are required (sharp turns, i.e. stops, turns can train the dog's joint dexterity). If the condition is severe, you will need to go to the hospital for X-ray treatment.

    When one foot feels pain, the dog will put the sick foot outward and the other foot inward to balance the strength, and then a situation similar to the outer eight will occur. Hip and knee joints, joints, metatarsal joints, or orthopedic problems can all cause pain, but this is not a true outward and may improve once the pain is gone.

    Environmental factors are relatively common, such as the dog's foot hair is long and uncut short, the floor is slippery, and so on. After a long time, the dog's hind legs habitually slide to both sides.

    Some dogs are born with hip dysplasia, which is common in large dogs such as Golden Retrievers and Labradors. After a long period of discovery, when the male and female are not visible, the larger and faster individuals in the litter are prone to this situation.

    It can be improved by supplementing the dog with nutrition, surgical correction and other methods.

    Take it with you for exercise. Pay attention to see if it is a hip problem.

    1. Be sure to put non-slip mats in all rooms where the dog walks around. I bought the cheapest kind of carpet and was ready to throw it away when the dog grew up.

    2. Calcium is supplemented with calcium solution, not calcium tablets or calcium powder, because calcium solution is the easiest to absorb. I bought a special calcium solution from the pet hospital, and it is said that the "blue bottle" can also be used for dogs, but I have not used it.

    3. Take your dog out for a walk instead of running. In the past, I always mistakenly thought that I was running with a dog, and once I ground out a lot of blood from the meat pads on the outside of the dog's hind legs, because the outer eight will cause the dog's hind legs to be unevenly forced, so you must not run. Don't take too long each time, because the dog with the hind legs is often weak on the hind legs and can't exercise for a long time, so it is recommended to take about 20 minutes each time, otherwise too long will cause psychological pressure on the dog and be reluctant to go out for a walk.

    4. Let the dog bask in the sun as much as possible, which also has the effect of calcium supplementation.

    5. If possible, you can let the dog swim more.
