　　Rickets in kittens (common from 3 months to over 1 year old): affected cats show symptoms such as lumbar depression, arched back, hind limb paralysis, stiff neck, and widespread pain. Due to lumbar vertebra depression and pelvic deformation, if the rectum is compressed causing difficulty in defecation, it can lead to death. Although timely treatment can cure most cases, it may leave permanent lumbar vertebral deformities, infertility in female cats, and constipation in old age as sequelae.

　　Intervertebral disk disease in dogs (common from 2 to 4 years old, especially in spring and autumn): this disease has had a very high incidence recently, mostly in Pekingese. Affected dogs are reluctant to exercise, do not jump, have an arched back, walk abnormally, and whimper with sudden pain when lifted; later, sudden hind limb paralysis, incontinence, and muscle atrophy in the hind legs may occur. This is caused by narrowing of the spinal disc space and nucleus pulposus protruding to compress nerves. Even with timely treatment to relieve or eliminate symptoms, relapse may occur and long-term exercise restriction is necessary. Owners need to invest a lot of time and effort, and the dogs also suffer greatly.

　　Both these diseases are caused by long-term consumption of liver. If your pet’s main food is liver, please stop feeding liver immediately and switch to dog food or cat food with comprehensive nutrition that is also more convenient.

　　Additionally, provide a daily supplement of calcium and vitamin D to keep your pet strong and healthy. If your pet is an omnivore, eating liver once or twice a month is beneficial; if mainly eating dog or cat food with balanced nutrition, there is no need to feed liver anymore. (Source：PetsZone)
