After dogs and cats suffer from osteosclerosis or rilo disease, they look healthy on the outside, but with the development of osteosclerosis or rilo disease, gastrointestinal function weakens, manifesting as decreased food, weight loss, reduced activity, dry feces, and unwilling to climb high places, especially fear of jumping from high places. The development of teeth is smaller than that of normal and is prone to fall off. When touching the junction of the rib and the rib cartilage, there is a bead-like swelling.
In severe cases of young dogs and cats, the pelvis becomes narrow, and due to dry feces and difficulty in defecation, constipation often occurs, limb weakness, especially the hind limbs.
Some dogs and cats have limb fractures or waist injuries due to jumping from a person's arms or from the bed. Some of them have paralyzed their posterior drive and have to be euthanized.
Adult female dogs are prone to calcium deficiency twitching after giving birth. Laboratory tests for serum calcium, which is basically normal or slightly lower at the beginning of the disease, and in severe cases, the serum calcium decreases. Why do dogs and cats simply feeding meat or liver to osteosurgery or rickets? The reason is that meat and liver contain less calcium and more phosphorus. The ratio of calcium and phosphorus in normal dogs and cats is 1.2-1.4:1 for dogs and 0.9-1.1:1 for cats. The calcium and phosphorus in raw meat are 1:10-32.5, and the fresh liver is 1:36, which is too different from the normal calcium and phosphorus required by dogs and cats. Therefore, osteosurgery or rickets are prone to occur.
