Dogs walking with a limp isn't cute, it's scary!
"Hanging legs" = knee joint issues
Dogs walking with a limp, many owners know it's a knee joint issue.
Based on the fact that an average of 7% of puppies will develop it, the doctor will say that there is a chance that the dog is "genetically" predisposed to having joint issues.
Why "congenitally" poor?
Dogs with knee joint dislocation are mostly miniature breeds.
Puppies bouncing around are very cute, right?Jumping onto the sofa but not high enough, it's really funny, then running and slipping down low, these actions put even more pressure on the dog's knee joints.
This pressure causes the knee joint to be slightly misaligned, which might be why the knee joint is "congenitally" a bit worse.
"Congenital" or "acquired"?
Before bringing the dog home, prepare non-slip flooring for the dog, and install steps to the sofa to prevent the dog from jumping around, which can help the dog's joints develop better.
If the dog really has "naturally" bad joints, there's nothing that can be done, but if it's just that the dog is "naturally" small, then the owner really needs to prepare better for the dog.
"Strong muscles" protect the joints
There are muscles and ligaments protecting the joints, so strong muscles act like knee pads, sharing the pressure on the joints caused by the dog's running and jumping.
Muscle development requires a lot of high-quality protein, especially during a dog's growth period. Owners can prepare raw meat diets with higher nutrition and more meat protein for their dogs, which can help them develop more comprehensively and better!
