Things to keep an eye on

Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)

high

This is a genetic condition that causes the gradual deterioration of the retina, potentially affecting vision over time. Early detection through regular eye exams is the best way to manage this condition.

Schedule annual eye examinations with your veterinarian to monitor retinal health.

Hip Dysplasia

moderate

This is a condition where the hip joint does not fit together perfectly, which may lead to discomfort or mobility changes over time. It is a common consideration for many medium-to-large dog breeds.

Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's joints.

Hypothyroidism

moderate

This condition occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormone, which can affect a dog's energy levels and coat quality. It is manageable with daily medication and regular monitoring.

Monitor your dog for unexplained weight gain or lethargy and consult your vet if you notice changes.

Otitis Externa

low

Due to their long, pendulous ears, Field Spaniels can be prone to moisture buildup and irritation in the ear canal. Keeping the ears clean and dry is an important part of their routine care.

Gently clean and dry your dog's ears after swimming or bathing.

General patterns, not a diagnosis — always check with your vet.
