Things to keep an eye on
Entropion
moderateEntropion is a condition where the eyelid rolls inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the surface of the eye. This can cause irritation and discomfort if left unaddressed.
Monitor your dog's eyes regularly for signs of redness, squinting, or excessive tearing.
Hip Dysplasia
moderateThis is a developmental condition where the hip joint does not fit together perfectly, potentially leading to arthritis over time. It is common in many active, medium-to-large dog breeds.
Maintain your dog at a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on their joints.
Sebaceous Adenitis
moderateThis is an inflammatory skin disease that affects the sebaceous glands, often resulting in hair loss and scaly skin. It requires ongoing management by a veterinarian.
Keep your dog's coat clean and report any unusual skin patches or hair thinning to your vet promptly.
