  1.  The article author is making a few great points about Pets in general in the content followed below.
  2.  <blockquote cite="https://www.handicappedpets.com/blog/sudden-mobility-loss/">       <h3>Sudden Mobility Loss: Helping a Dog Who Can’t Walk</h3>           <p>A sudden change in your dog’s mobility is alarming.Nothing is worse than watching your dog struggle to stand and unable to support themselves on their back legs. As https://postheaven.net/valuecandle7/how-to-pick-up-women-with-why-does-my-dog-smack-his-lips-after-eating feel helpless, what can you do? Whether from injury, illness, or a debilitating mobility condition there are several reasons why a dog may become suddenly paralyzed. If your dog is struggling to walk on their own, appears weak, and their legs are unable to support themselves, you need to see a Veterinarian immediately. </p>           <h2>Hind Leg Weakness: When Your Dog’s Back Legs Give Out</h2>           <p>A dog’s sudden paralysis and mobility loss is scary. There are https://www.vingle.net/posts/3918567 why a dog’s back legs give out, understanding the cause will help you to understand what needs to be done. Your pet needs to see a pet professional as soon as possible. </p>               <p>A few canine mobility conditions that affect a dog’s back legs include:</p>       <ul>                 <li> Hip Dysplasia</li>                       <li> Knee injury or ACL tear</li>                       <li> Traumatic injury</li>                       <li> Arthritis</li>                       <li> FCE or spinal stroke</li>                       <li> Degenerative Myelopathy</li>                       <li> IVDD or slipped disc</li>                       <li> Vestibular Syndrome</li>                </ul>           <p>Depending on the underlying cause, a dog’s paralysis may be temporary or permanent. Canine rehabilitation can help your dog to maintain muscle, regain leg strength, and learn how to walk again through structured exercise. Rehabilitation helps dogs restore balance, strength, and leg function. Although, not every dog will be able to walk again – every dog dealing with sudden mobility loss can benefit from conditioning exercises. </p>           <h2>What to Do When Your Dog Can’t Stand Up</h2>           <p>Sudden mobility loss, doesn’t always mean paralysis. A dog being unable to stand up is a noticeable change in pet’s mobility. Struggling to lift themselves off the ground is often the first sign of mobility problems.</p>               <p>Most senior dogs will show signs of losing strength in their legs as they get older. A dog struggling to stand up is likely suffering from arthritis or leg joint pain. Aid your dog to stand with the help of a rear support leash. The leash allows you to give the boost older dogs need to get up on all four legs and steady themselves. Pets having difficulty standing or walking or seem to be in pain need to be seen by a veterinarian. </p>               <p>Continued exercise is always recommended for arthritic pets. The very best thing you can do for a joint with arthritis is to use it. Consistent movement and putting weight on the joint encourages more joint fluid to be produced, which actually makes it easier for a dog to move their aching joints in the long run. Hydrotherapy or swim therapy is ideal for dogs with aching joints. They get the benefit of exercise without putting too much stress on their joints. For longer walks, a dog wheelchair will reduce the weight being placed on the joints but allow the dog to continue to move and strengthen the muscles around the joint. With time and proper treatment your dog may get strong enough to stand on their own. </p>           <h2>Dog Wheelchairs for Rear Leg Weakness</h2>           <p>Keeping your dog active is vital to their quality of life. A dog who can’t stand or walk on their own can become immobile and depressed.</p>               <p>A dog wheelchair is designed to support their weak hind legs, providing them the rear leg support they need to exercise. Whether your dog’s rear legs are paralyzed or just weakened, a dog wheelchair will help. Even dogs who are still able to move their hind legs will see improved leg function with the help of a rear support cart. Dog wheelchairs help dogs to stand, maintain balance, and stay healthier longer. </p>               <p>Regardless of the injury or mobility condition impacting your pet, a dog wheelchair helps them to get back to a normal life, maintain a positive outlook on life and continue to exercise daily. In the long run, a dog wheelchair will extend their life and improve their overall quality of life.</p>       <p><strong></strong> https://www.handicappedpets.com/blog/sudden-mobility-loss/ </p>     </blockquote>

  4.  <h3>Pet Care Tips Specifically For Dog Owners.</h3>

  6.  Raising a dog is a big undertaking and long term commitment. The responsibilities that come along with owning a pet are numerous, however so are the rewards. This article aims to provide you with a few useful tips to help you with the different aspects of owning and caring for a dog.
  7.  If you are in the market for a new puppy, make sure you will have enough time to devote to his training. On average, you need to take a young dog outside to do his business eight times a day and that can take a lot away from your schedule. Training takes more time and patience than most people realize.
  8.  Research a particular breed of dog you may be interested in before bringing him home. Lots of people make the mistake of falling in love with a type of dog, then find out later that the animal isn't really for them. Chihuahuas, for example, are a trendy type, but very difficult to fully potty train, especially in colder climates!

  10.  Although the sound may be cute, your dog's nails shouldn't click along the floor when it walks. That's a sign that the nails are too long. The nails should actually just barely touch the ground. Seek the advice of a professional on what tools are the best for giving your dog a pedicure.
  11.  Your dog needs to be secured when in a car. Not only will it make the journey safer, as it will lead to fewer distractions for the person driving the car, but in the event of an accident, it could also save your dog's life. Look for a seat belt harness, often sold at pet stores, that you can put in your car for your pet.
  12.  Dog training requires you to be consistent. Once you decide you want to establish a rule for your dog, do not make any exceptions. Make sure everyone at home helps you enforce the rule and encourage your guests not to let your dog jump on them or to not acknowledge your dog when it barks.
  13.  If your dog spends a lot of time alone, think seriously about adding a second animal to your family. Dogs are usually in packs by nature and this means they enjoy being around one another. By choosing another dog that matches your pup's energy level and temperament, you'll ensure that your dogs will be great companions for each other.
  14.  Do not make training your dog seem like a chore. Dogs pick up on this negative energy and will have a difficult time learning if you are not in the right mind frame. Make it fun and try to look at it as a bonding experience with your pet. When your dog is having fun, they will learn their training quicker.
  15.  Know the basics of pet first-aid if you have a dog in your family. Being able to react quickly in an emergency, such as your pooch being bitten by a snake, can mean the difference between life and death. Read a good book on the subject or ask your vet to brief you on the basics.
  16.  If you have tried everything to get your dog to stop digging your garden to no avail, head to your kitchen. Mix up a batch of cayenne pepper (five tablespoons), hot sauce (also five tablespoons) and a quart of water in a spray bottle and spray it where he digs. It should discourage him quickly.

Once you can gain your dog's attention, you will have less to worry about when you have him out of the house or when there is company over.
  20.  Make sure that you trim your dog's nails on a fairly regular basis. You do not want them to get too long since it will make it uncomfortable for them to walk and they may develop health issues. They should be at a length that just about touches the ground.
