Pets are friends of human beings, is to build a natural indispensable part of a harmonious society, with the continuous improvement of living standards and social phenomenon of aging, those naive, smart, good experienced man who intended to become a pet brings joy to people, to accompany the lonely most loyal \hot rabbits, lizards, snakes, pigeons, Grasshopper, and so many varieties, can be seen and different people through contact with small animals living together to meet their own need for some spiritual life, but these owners in the process of keeping pets often because of their misconceptions and unreasonable method of feeding the pet can not get a truly healthy body condition. In recent years, a survey shows cats and dogs because of mineral deficiencies in the nutritional and metabolic diseases led to significant increase in the proportion, mainly by the pet food caused by the relatively simple structure, the owner and some over-concerned about the dog and cat food too much rich food, from an early age with plenty of meat, animal liver, milk and other foods to favor them, so they therefore formed the habit of eating the meat, and finally can easily lead to rickets, the soft bone disease, can cause serious and even life-long disabilities; while some pet food to a single owner, less, resulting in nutritional deficiencies, cause disease, but also more common.
mineral nutrients is the pet an integral part of the body, is to maintain a normal body fluid composition, bone and blood formation, to maintain the normal function of the nervous system, musculoskeletal system and vascular system of regulation necessary. Each of the body of minerals and other nutrients are interdependent and are directly involved in the blood and other body fluids to maintain normal pH and osmotic balance. As long as a mineral imbalance, the other to be affected. As a trace mineral elements in which the calcium ions on the pets, especially dogs and cats health is particularly important, this paper two aspects of dogs and cats, respectively, after the discussion of its calcium deficiency symptoms, causes and the impact on pet harm the body.
dog is the first animal domesticated by humans, but also of the most loyal friend, and calcium is a mineral dogs most nutrients, and phosphorus compounds,
puma running shoes, which accounted for the body minerals more than 70% of the total, is the main component of bone, bone calcium and blood calcium in the body by continuous regulation of metabolism and to maintain a relative balance, and therefore reduce the serum calcium level of bone in dogs a great impact, it can cause bone growth and development of dogs obstacles to the use of bone or because of incomplete calcification of bone calcium to maintain a reserve of calcium balance, leading to bone softening, osteoporosis. A small part of the body in the ionic form of calcium found in plasma, muscle and nerve with the maintenance of normal physiological role of calcium ions can inhibit the excitability of the decline in concentration can cause muscle and nerve sensitivity enhancement. When calcium is lower than 70ug/mL below, dog body receptors increase excitability, metabolic disorders caused by substances, accumulation of metabolic breakdown products,
shoes puma, pyruvate content increased, alkaline storage decreased abnormal environment of organic body, causing ataxia, esophagus, diaphragm and limb muscle contraction out of control, serious and even lead to death. Now suffering from rickets as a result of calcium deficiency, osteoporosis, postpartum paralysis, osteomalacia significant growth in the number of dogs, these diseases have become the major common diseases in dogs. Generally lead to calcium deficiency in dogs for many reasons, mainly reflected in four aspects: 1. Is the growth and development of puppies and young dogs, pregnant and lactating bitches and stud ready for mating dogs, because of its growth and development and reproduction of the need for greatly increased requirements for calcium, this time also follow the usual feeding method can not replenish calcium-rich foods or additives, would cause the dog's intake of calcium than calcium needs; 2. dogs the most appropriate proportion of calcium in food is 1.2 ~ 1.4:1, such as the imbalance of calcium and phosphorus in feed, it will affect the absorption of calcium; 3. the dog days of vitamin D requirement is 10 IU / Kg body weight, the intake inadequate or lack of exercise and light, the body will result in a lack of vitamin D, calcium absorption caused by the deposition of calcium utilization and barriers; 4. diarrhea, vomiting, biliary tract disease or a variety of causes of chronic indigestion and intestinal parasitic gondii infection, can cause digestive disorders in dogs, affecting digestion and absorption of food,
puma sneakers, but also can lead to calcium malabsorption.
different species and size of the dog at different ages, different calcium method should be used. Under normal circumstances no matter what size the dog, have no calcium in the breast-feeding, because they can get a lot of calcium in breast milk, and once postpartum illness makes doggy bitch is temporarily unable to nurse, then the artificial feeding feeding should be more bone soup, and the right amount of vitamin D. After weaning the puppies, feeding puppies dog food for mini dogs and small dogs and without calcium, because puppy food contains the right amount of calcium in the city. But the larger and medium-sized dog because the size, growth accelerated, the increase of the demand for calcium, this time should pay attention to the amount of calcium. If you are fed to the dogs is homemade dog food and your long-term liver or meat eating animal-based food, it should also supplement with calcium and vitamin D, because the liver or meat of calcium low, and vitamin A are too high, long-term consumption can inhibit the absorption of calcium, this unscientific Feeding puppies can easily lead to rickets, which is the puppies due to lack of vitamin D and calcium metabolic disease caused by a . When breast-feed or after weaning, the lack of vitamin D, and puppies less sunlight, people with certain genetic defects or indigestion,
puma ferrari shoes, vitamins can not be fully absorbed, can cause vitamin D deficiency or lack of, thereby affecting calcium absorption and bone salt deposition, which occurs in this disease. Calcium, phosphorus deficiency or seriously disproportionate, parathyroid dysfunction, but also an important cause of rickets occur. The disease is common in dogs within the first year, of which 2.5 to 5 months the dog is most prone. Dogs, the early symptoms are lack of energy, loss of appetite, indigestion, gradual weight loss, slow growth, the occurrence of pica, eating soil, masonry, licking the walls, floors, or even eating their own feces, diarrhea or constipation showed digestion obstacles. Skeletal deformities in dogs usually presented before the limb joint pain, stiffness in the limbs when the transport step, flexion and extension are not flexible, there limp. Then the deformed, bent limb bones show \Affect the normal development of the disease in dogs, causing limb deformity, secondary to reduced physical and other diseases easily. Usually by more than the sun, and appropriate exercise, vitamin D and bone soup can be corrected. Rickets in the early light if treated in time, can be completely returned to normal, ranging from severe rickets can be left by the severity of skeletal abnormalities.
the puppies grow up to 4-6 months of age, began to fall off the mouth of the primary teeth, permanent teeth start to grow. If calcium deficiency will result in primary teeth at this time does not fall off, slow growth of permanent teeth, thin enamel structure is not strong, prone to double teeth or permanent teeth uneven situation. These dogs susceptible to yellow in the adult teeth, bad breath, gingivitis and other diseases, a direct impact on life.
when entering adulthood, the fed dog food dogs do not need a separate calcium. Because in this period the dog bones and other organs of the growth and development has stopped, the demand for calcium is very small. If the species of dogs and pregnant lactating bitches to still need to add a lot of calcium, as semen, embryos of the dog and the milk will result in great loss of calcium from the body, especially the female dog body after production if calcium easily suffering from postpartum hypocalcemia, this is because breast-feeding after birth bitches resulting lower blood calcium caused by the rapid metabolic diseases. Colostrum is caused by a large number of calcium into the blood calcium concentration decline. Bitches into the breast milk calcium concentration than the amount absorbed from the intestine and from the body to use the sum of the bones will disease. In addition, pregnant bitches is not on time and quantity Buwei calcium and vitamin D, bone calcium reserves used in the reduced ability to reduce the concentration of calcium is an important reason. When the calcium concentration decreased to below 7mg will disease. The disease can cause seizures, mainly faltering steps to begin operation, rear rigid, strong walking arrest disorders, dogs appear to suffer from anxiety symptoms, muscle tremors, neck, chest, abdomen, waist, muscle tonus, standing firm , body temperature can reach above 40 ℃, shortness of breath, sweating, palpitations, hyperactivity, turning up the eye, visible mucosal congestion, mouth opening and closing continuously, often with white foam at the mouth, the dog sensitive to external stimuli, these symptoms occur if not treated, can cause coma or even bitches 1 to 2 days suffocation.
in adult dogs are likely to cause disease as well as calcium deficiency osteomalacia dogs, adult dogs the disease is completed when the ossification of cartilage, dietary calcium, phosphorus less than or imbalance, indigestion caused by calcium and phosphorus absorption disorders or bone decalcification occurred a progressive malnutrition. Early symptoms of rickets like puppies,
puma speed cat, there loss of appetite, indigestion, mental and lively, then there pica, dogs often lie to, do not want to stand up and exercise, growth stagnation, weight loss, bones become soft and then softened One exception occurs earlier jaw, followed by bone and gum degradation, loss of fertility, prone to spontaneous fractures in serious condition dogs to further reduce serum calcium may occur limbs twitching and bleeding.
When the big dogs grow up to 8 years of age to enter old age, old age because of endocrine causes of canine calcium intake caused by reduced loss increased. Small dogs should be fed when older dog food, otherwise they should be artificially added calcium, while maintaining a certain amount of exercise. Otherwise it will cause osteoporosis, increased incidence of bone spurs and fractures. How much calcium should complement the specific amount should be the number of calcium, depending on the dog breed, size, age and calcium deficiency in the circumstances, it is best to listen to professional veterinary advice.
above-mentioned diseases caused by calcium deficiency in dogs are largely preventable diseases, with attention to feed and strengthen management. Normal growth and development in accordance with the dog's nutritional needs at different stages with the food science, in addition to ensuring the dog on the carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and other nutrients in adequate supply, we must also pay attention to the supply of calcium in food, especially puppies,
puma racing shoes, growth fast young dogs, pregnant and lactating bitches, stud dogs for greater demand for calcium to replenish calcium. The dog more exercise, regular sun, time to add cod liver oil pills, to ensure the body to obtain adequate vitamin D. Try to get rid of the habit of dogs are fussy eaters and the partial eclipse, it can obtain a more comprehensive and balanced nutrition, but also regular worming of dogs and active treatment of various acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases, so you can effectively prevent the occurrence of calcium deficiency in dogs .
