What to feed a dog with a broken bone to recover quickly

What can dogs eat to help recover from a broken bone?

1. Supplement your dog with calcium: Give them calcium tablets or pig bone soup, and complement it with vitamin D to aid in bone recovery.
2. Provide your dog with medications to protect their bones and joints. If the dog shows signs of pain, you can also give them painkillers and limit their activities to prevent secondary bone damage and potential non-union of the bone.

Can dogs with broken bones heal themselves?

Yes, but they may exhibit malunion.

1. Minor fractures can heal on their own.
2. Check if the fracture site is displaced. If not, take the dog to the hospital for external fixation and limit movement at home. It's best to let the dog rest in a cage. You can give them liquid calcium or calcium paste.
3. If the dog's fracture site is displaced, it's recommended to undergo surgery at the hospital for faster healing.

What to do if your dog's front leg is broken or dislocated?

When a dog's front leg cannot walk normally due to a fracture or dislocation, first, use a small wooden board or other sturdy strip-shaped items to immobilize the dog's front leg. Then, be careful not to touch the dog's leg and take them to a pet hospital for treatment. After the dog receives treatment, supplement their diet with calcium-rich foods and various nutritional products such as nutritional pastes during the recovery period. Avoid letting the dog engage in vigorous exercise, which can easily cause the injured bone to displace again.

What foods should dogs with broken bones avoid?

There are no absolute foods to avoid during a dog's fracture, but it's best to avoid seafood and other foods that may cause allergies. You can appropriately increase your dog's nutrition by feeding them nutritional pastes, chicken breast, and other foods to promote the growth of the fracture site and speed up their recovery.
