The foreleg joint of a dog refers to the foreleg joint of a dog, the joint in the middle of the foreleg, similar to the position of a human elbow. This is a key part of the dog's prone to problems. Dogs have problems with the foreleg joints or foreleg joints.
Physiological structure causes: There is very little fat and muscle in the front leg joint of the dog, almost the skin wraps the dog's front leg joint. When the dog is lying or lying on his side, the front leg joint is pressed tightly on the ground. When lying on his side, the weight of the first half of the dog's body is pressed on the joints of the two front legs, and the bones in the front leg joints will chuck the outside skin; when lying on his side, a small joint bone on the edge will also cause the skin to rub against the ground, which will cause some problems.
Breeds and habits: Dogs with larger size and longer legs often lie down with a "gum" sound when lying down, and the two front legs joints will hit the ground heavily, which is also the cause of diseases of the front legs joints of dogs.
What are the problems that dogs have forelimb joints?
Hair removal: This can be said to be the slightest possible problem. Due to the heavy pressure and friction, the hair in the dog's front legs becomes sparse and hair-lost, making this area almost hairless.
Redness and swelling: This is a skin problem. At the beginning, it may be a local minor dermatitis. In addition, when dogs have skin problems, they like to lick them with their tongues, making it difficult to heal all the skin that has problems, but it is the most serious.
Joint hyperplasia or hydrocalcification: Some dog forelimb joint diseases caused by the second reason above will gradually become deeper into bone joint problems. Some dogs' front legs will swollen into two large bags, which may be caused by soft tissue hyperplasia or accumulation of water.
can minimize the damage to the forelimb joints of the dog. Pay attention to observation and deal with it in a timely manner: Parents of good dogs are also very worried, and they should pay attention to many details on the dog in daily life. When dogs have problems with their front legs, they usually start with hair loss and redness. In addition, dogs like to lick unwell parts, so it is very easy to detect when dogs have problems with their front legs. Starting to deal with and treat whenever there is a problem can avoid more serious problems.
Self-treatment
If you suspect that it is a joint problem mentioned above, you should take the dog to the hospital to see a doctor. However, for skin problems, you can use Duojiankang cream for the dog, twice a day, apply it on the place where the small red envelope is installed, rub it more to help the drug absorption, and then use socks to cover it to avoid it from licking it again (this is more important). It will be cured in about a week.
Finally, I would like to mention that some short-haired dogs have formed thick cocoons at the forelimb joints, and such situations are not prone to problems. However, if a long-haired dog has no hair on the front legs and has a cocoon, it is very obvious, which will affect its beauty.
