Dog Joint Dislocation Treatment

1. Conservative treatment

Conservative treatment can be used for incomplete dislocation or mild total dislocation. Generally, the dog is first placed on its side to be stabilized, with the dislocated limb on top, and methods such as pulling, pressing, internal rotation, abduction, and stretching are used to reset the joint. If the reset is correct, you can feel it with your hands, and you can also hear the sound. Immediately after restoration, external fixation was performed. Usually splint bandages, plastic bandages, external fixators, etc. are selected.

2. Surgical treatment

For severe cases, surgery is definitely required. The location of joint dislocation is different, and the surgical path is also different. Through traction, rotation of the affected limb, stretching and pressing of the joint, the joint is reset. Different methods of internal fixation were selected according to the nature of the dislocation. For example, if some ligaments are broken, they should be sutured and fixed if possible, and then externally fixed. Some may be congenital dislocation of the patella, which can be resolved with joint orthopedic surgery to restore joint function.

3. Daily diet conditioning

You can give your dog some petda instant calcium vitamins, supplemented with 3 kinds of easily absorbed glycosylated calcium, 8 kinds of vitamins and 12 kinds of trace elements. It can strengthen bones, help joint recovery after surgery, and prevent arthritis in dogs caused by calcium deficiency.
