Border Terrier (definite introduction)
The importance of calcium to the body is self-evident. , so it is very important to supplement calcium reasonably. We all know the truth that natural things must be reversed. If an appropriate amount of calcium is supplemented, it will not only be beneficial to the dog's body, but will have a very serious effect on them. So what harm does moderate calcium supplementation do to dogs? Let’s explain.
1. Form long-term hypercalciuria, reducing the chance of stones in the urinary system;
2. Lead to premature calcification of cartilage and premature closure of the anterior fontanel. , resulting in abnormal microcephaly, which restricts the dog's brain development;
3. Premature calcification of bones, premature epiphyseal closure, affecting the development of long bones, and ultimately the height is controlled;
4. Too much calcium in the bones will make the bones hard and prone to fractures;
5. Affect the dog’s appetite, thereby affecting the absorption of other nutrients by the intestines;

6. Excessive calcium in the intestines will inhibit the absorption of iron, zinc and other divalent ions, causing secondary zinc and iron deficiency, and leading to reduced immunity, anorexia, and slow growth in dogs. , anemia, fatigue and other corresponding symptoms;
7. The blood calcium concentration is too high, causing calcium to accumulate in the internal organs or tissues. If it accumulates around the cornea, it will affect the eyes and accumulate on the heart valves. It will affect the heart function, and accumulation on the blood vessel wall will aggravate vascular stiffness, etc.
