Things to keep an eye on
Epilepsy
highIdiopathic epilepsy can occur in this breed, manifesting as recurring seizures without a clear underlying cause. Early identification and management are important for the dog's quality of life.
Keep a detailed log of any unusual episodes or tremors to share with your veterinarian.
Cystinuria
moderateThis is a hereditary condition that affects the kidneys' ability to reabsorb certain amino acids, potentially leading to the formation of bladder stones. Monitoring urine health is a key part of long-term care.
Ensure your dog has constant access to fresh water to help dilute urine and prevent crystal formation.
Patellar Luxation
moderateThis condition involves the kneecap slipping out of its normal position, which can cause occasional limping or an irregular gait. It is a common orthopedic concern in many medium-sized breeds.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's knee joints.
