Dogs with nervous weakness can exhibit a variety of different symptoms. These include, for example, reduced vision, incontinence, coordination problems, and abnormalities in the dog’s movement patterns. Paralysis, tremors, seizures, weakness, and restlessness can also indicate reduced nervous function.
If you notice signs of nervous weakness or even a nervous disorder (reduced signal transmission to the legs or organs such as the bladder) in your dog, quick action is required. Measures to strengthen and regenerate nerves should be taken, as a delay can impede nerve cell regeneration. Prevention is always best, of course. You can do a lot yourself to ensure your dog’s nerve health.
Vitamin B is important for canine nerve function
To get straight to the point: For optimal nerve function, a dog’s body needs regular B vitamins. These vitamins are important for both the maintenance of nerves and the formation of new nerve cells, thus ensuring optimal information transmission in the nervous system.
Certain B vitamins, for example, ensure that a dog’s nerves always receive sufficient energy. Other B vitamins stimulate the body to form new nerve cells and thus maintain the nervous system. A deficiency in these important vitamins can quickly lead to nerve weakness and associated symptoms such as tremors or incontinence due to the sensitivity of the nervous system.
Incontinence in dogs – often associated with nerve problems
Nerves often play a significant role in incontinence. When otherwise house-trained dogs shed drops of urine or even leave large amounts of urine or feces around the house and appear unconcerned, or wet themselves or defecate while sleeping, it’s not just unpleasant for dogs. It could be caused by a herniated disc, osteoarthritis, or spondylosis (spondylosis deformans).
What is spondylosis? Spondylosis refers to pathological changes in the spine in which calcifications and bony connections form between the vertebrae. Many dogs can live with this quite well, even without the owner noticing. However, secondary symptoms such as pain, incontinence, paralysis, or coordination problems caused by damaged nerve pathways can also occur.
In such cases, a vitamin B complex can support the nerve pathways and help alleviate symptoms without immediately resorting to chemical medications.
Vitamin B also supports stress resistance
A dog suffering from stress can be negatively affected by a B vitamin deficiency. However, an adequate supply of these vitamins can help the animal face stressful situations more calmly and avoid immediately reacting with excessive aggression or fear. Reduced stress resistance can therefore be an indication of a B vitamin deficiency. Giving B vitamins can have positive effects, especially for dogs prone to anxiety biting.
B vitamins are particularly important for senior dogs.
The symptoms mentioned above often occur as side effects of the aging process. From a certain age, a dog’s nerves may no longer function optimally, which can lead to health deficits, similar to those in humans. In addition, the intestinal ability to absorb nutrients can also decline with age. This brings two things together, and B vitamins can then be supplemented.
Therefore, it is also advisable to ensure an adequate intake of the important B vitamins prophylactically. The dosage of the individual B vitamins relative to each other is crucial, as they have synergistic effects.other and with other vitamins. However, it is important to emphasize that excessive dosage is pointless, as excess vitamin B is excreted in the urine, and high-dose products are not necessarily beneficial to health. Anyone who recommends high-dose vitamin supplements has no knowledge of the adverse biochemical processes they can trigger. It is important to note that this is an industry trick to fake greater effectiveness in order to boost sales. This applies to dogs and humans.
