Let the dog walk upright is very harmful! 1. hind limbs paralysis, quadriplegia dog hind legs to the body support is mainly by the femoral head fit hip joint (i.e. pelvic area), when the dog stands, the hip joint will be under great pressure, easily lead to the hip joint area blood circulation is hindered. When walking upright for a long time, dislocation of the femoral head, femoral head necrosis, hip joint abnormalities, cartilage wear and other diseases are likely to occur. The dog’s spine is supposed to be parallel to the ground, and its ability to withstand is far less than that of humans. Walking upright will allow the weight of the body to be shared vertically on the spine, which over time will lead to spinal deformation, narrowing of the medullary cavity, compression of nerves and other conditions. In severe cases, this can lead to paralysis of the hind legs or even total paralysis. …… Spinal injuries are not excluded in the cervical spine (although walking upright usually does not directly affect the cervical spine, but nothing is absolute), then the most serious will lead to quadriplegia. 2. Urinary function Thoracolumbar spine disease may also affect the dog’s urinary function, if If you can’t urinate properly, you have a big potential problem. 48 hours without urination can lead to uremia. 3. sudden death If the injury occurs very close to the head, such as the first two sections of the cervical vertebrae, it can seriously injure the brainstem, forming an impact on the heartbeat and breathing, causing the phenomenon of sudden death. If the dog has been consciously or unconsciously trained to stand often how to find it has these undesirable behaviors, such as standing, we need to promptly correct or cold treatment. No attention and even less reward! No words of praise! No surprised looks! It is also important to note that many dogs do not walk as upright as the dogs in the video. They are more likely to stand up and circle around their owner’s legs and stay there for a long time, which is actually just as important to avoid. Bad behavior must not be rewarded when it occurs! If you see a dog around you walking upright, don’t clap your hands and don’t reward the behavior, or you’ll just make more and more dogs suffer! Dogs let it have the dog should have the look. Perhaps many pooper scoopers just started pet, many aspects are not very knowledgeable, as the saying goes, “no one is guilty”, it does not matter how slowly we learn, as long as you have a heart that truly loves it.
