Things to keep an eye on
Bloat (GDV)
highDeep-chested breeds can be at risk for the stomach filling with gas and potentially twisting, which requires immediate attention.
Feed smaller, frequent meals rather than one large meal to help manage digestion.
Pulmonic Stenosis
highThis is a congenital heart defect that involves a narrowing of the valve between the heart and the lungs, potentially affecting blood flow.
Schedule regular cardiac auscultations with your veterinarian to monitor heart health.
Ectropion
moderateThis condition involves the eyelid rolling outward, which can leave the eye surface exposed and prone to irritation.
Keep the area around the eyes clean and monitor for any signs of redness or discharge.
Hip Dysplasia
moderateThis is a condition where the hip joint does not fit together perfectly, which can lead to discomfort or mobility issues over time.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's joints.
