Things to keep an eye on
Progressive Retinal Atrophy
highThis is a degenerative eye disorder that can eventually lead to vision loss. Early detection through regular eye exams is important for managing the condition.
Schedule annual eye examinations with your veterinarian to monitor your dog's ocular health.
Dental Disease
moderateSmall breeds are prone to tartar buildup and gum inflammation due to their smaller jaw size and crowded teeth. Proper oral hygiene is essential to prevent discomfort.
Brush your dog's teeth regularly with pet-safe toothpaste and provide appropriate dental chews.
Patellar Luxation
moderateThis condition involves the kneecap slipping out of its normal position, which is a common occurrence in many small dog breeds. It may cause occasional limping or an unusual gait.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's knee joints.
