The words written on the front..
This is a corgi. As we all know, corgis are short, but their bodies are very long. They are very cute when they walk with their buttocks twisted. It is because of this figure that their waists are not very good. They are prone to lumbar disc herniation or dislocation. When the herniation compresses the spinal cord, they will be injured and feel painful. The pain of walking is only a terrible beginning, which can lead to paralysis. In order to avoid this situation, we must pay more attention to their bodies when they are young and lay a good foundation for them!
How to protect the waist of short legs?
1. Avoid going down stairs
A lot of people like to see corgi clumsily downstairs, every time I see the Gif on the Internet, I feel sorry for those short legs. The can hardly walked down the stairs. Its weight is very heavy in corgi, 36 kg. If we go down the stairs, the load will be relatively larger, so wherever we go out, whenever there are stairs, we will choose to carry it down.
2. Master the correct posture of holding the dog
Let's look at a mistake demonstration first.
When I went out to play, I took pictures for the concave shape. I don't recommend holding the dog like this! Don't let the dog suffer, when holding it, you must not hold its forelimbs for a long time, which will make the waist in a hanging state, which is very harmful to the dog.
Hold the front or back with one hand, hold the bottom with the other hand, protect the waist, and don't hang in the air. So that the dog can relax when being held.
3. Don't overdo it while maintaining your weight
Weight should be controlled as much as possible. The bone mass of canned food is very large. Normally, about 30 kg is appropriate. Now 36 kg is also controlling the intake of snacks and increasing exercise in moderation. Excessive physical exertion will also increase the pressure on its limbs and waist. When walking, it is obvious that it is very clumsy to twist around. Sometimes we have to walk a long way when we take him out to play. We have prepared a cart for him. If he really doesn't want to go, we will hold him in the cart and let him slow down. Don't be tired.
You can choose the model according to the size of your dog. It's better to choose a foldable and safe and stable one, so that the dog can feel at ease inside.
4. Avoid jumping from high places
Every time I drive out, I have to be carried to get on and off the bus. It is timid, and its legs will shake when it stands on the edge of the seat. Therefore, it will avoid jumping from a high place outside to prevent injury.
5. Try to choose chest and back traction.
There are many styles of traction rope, and after trying many styles, I found that the most suitable one is the chest and back traction rope that can protect its chest and abdomen, which can also help them share some of the strength of the waist. Cans now use K9 and Ruffwell's chest and back all the time, which is not afraid of explosion and can protect its waist, abdomen and chest. Kill two birds with one stone!
The last thing I want to say..
Hair children need our heart to guard, usually pay more attention to some dribs and drabs can let them take less detours and suffer less, short legs of the waist problem, we will always pay attention to, the healthy growth of canned food is the most important thing for me.
