Although paralysis in dogs may occur in the jaws, forelegs, or in groups of muscles in other parts of the body, the most common manifestations are in the hind legs. Paralysis of the hind legs is known as posterior paralysis. The attack may be rather mild, in which case it is often transitory in nature and is readily amenable to routine treatment. Conversely, the attack may be rather severe, in which case it may be entirely resistant to the entire gamut of medical alternatives. Posterior paralysis is ordinarily caused by pressure, injury, or degeneration of the nerves or the part of the spinal cord that are associated with the proper functioning of the hind limbs. Thus the condition may come about as a result of a back injury, a spinal growth, or an intestinal obstruction. Also it may result from obscure nervous diseases, senility, a heavy tick infestation, or from certain infectious diseases such as distemper.
An allergy injection, also called immunotherapy, is a series of treatments meant to produce immunity to substances your dog is currently allergic to. Skin and blood testing is performed to find out what substances causes your pet’s allergies. These substances then are given to your dog in small but increasing amounts via injections. Over a period of time, the dog becomes desensitized to the substances and no longer exhibits allergic reactions to them.

Whether meat is fed cooked or raw depends both on convenience to the owner and on the preference of the animal. It will make no difference, however, to the health of the dog which way the food is fed.

Vitamin C: Dogs manufacture their own vitamin C and therefore have no special need for this vitamin. Humans that have a deficiency of this vitamin develop scurvy, which is cured by fresh fruit juices and vegetables. No disease resembling scurvy appears hi the dog. However, the bodies of dogs will occasionally fail to manufacture sufficient quantities of vitamin C, and variable degrees of irritation will result in the membranes of the mouth and gums. This condition responds readily to proper doses of this vitamin.
