有chd的狗還可以吃鈣磷粉?

[佩容]

我有一隻七個月大的邊境牧羊犬，前陣子因為牠左後腳有跆起的現象，就到醫院去檢查，結果x光片顯示是髖關節有問題，我想問的是像牠這個年齡不正是要補充鈣質的嗎?因為剛看你的文章有一篇是說有chd的狗不能吃鈣磷粉，那如果給牠喝鮮奶可以嗎?還有就是cosequin要去哪裡買呢?

Actually, if you are using commercial dog food for your dog, you don't have to worry about the calcium supplement. I havn' seen a calcium deficiency in my clinic in the past 10 years. To control the progressing of CHD we will recommend to slow down the growth rate on the under 1 year old and even chang the diet to adult dogs' food when the dog is over 4 months old. One of the major purpose is to reduce the calcium intake. So, don't worry. You don't need to give him milk or extra calcium.

譯文如下：
事實上，如果牠吃的是市售狗飼料，你就不需要擔心鈣質補充問題，這十年來我還沒看過鈣質不足的狗狗。如果要控制狗狗的CHD問題，我們會建議減緩一歲以下狗狗的成長速度，甚至在狗狗四個月大以後就改吃成犬飼料，以避免鈣質攝取過多。所以囉，別擔心，不必讓你家狗狗喝牛奶或額外補充鈣質。
