Things to keep an eye on
Dental Disease
moderateDue to their facial structure, Tibetan Spaniels can be prone to tartar buildup and gum inflammation if teeth are not cleaned regularly.
Brush your dog's teeth several times a week using veterinarian-approved toothpaste.
Patellar Luxation
moderateThis condition occurs when the kneecap temporarily slips out of its normal position, which can cause intermittent limping.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's knee joints.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy
moderateThis is a genetic condition that causes the gradual deterioration of the retina, potentially leading to vision loss over time.
Schedule annual eye examinations with your veterinarian to monitor retinal health.
