Everything You Need To Know About Dog Hot
Spots
The term "Autoimmune disease" is
currently making the rounds among dog breeders and exhibitors and in the
veterinary community. Diseases caused by a defective immune system are of
particular concern among many purebred fanciers. (Some people use the
abbreviation AID for (A)uto (I)mmune (D)isease. Due to possible confusion with
AIDS, (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), a completely different disease, I
have not used this acronym.)Checkout Banixx treatment for more info.

If your patient is an aged dog and has had
distemper, and for no accountable cause is slowly going off in flesh and
refuses to fatten, no matter how much he eats, and if his breath is foul, his
bowels are irregular, and he seems all out of sorts and run down, indigestion
should be suspected, due either to poor food, a weakness of the stomach's
digestive glands, or irritation set up by worms.
Craniomandibular Osteopathy
This dog genetic disease is quite common
and its symptoms are quite visible, hence it can be diagnosed early. This
disease is characterized by the development of abnormally large bones in the
cranial and mandibular regions of your dogs anatomy. This disease affects dogs
that are typically between three to eight months of age. What is worse is that
no treatment to alter this condition has been developed yet.
Canine Follicular Dysplasia
If your dog has been losing a lot of hair,
then this genetic disease might be the cause of it. Dogs affected by this
disease have weak hair follicles as a result of which, the hair on these dogs
coats tends to break easily. Treatment involves the administration of synthetic
retinoid drugs, using a benzoyl peroxide based shampoo on your dog is also a
good idea.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy
This disease is a genetic disease which
causes our dogs vision to become poorer and poorer and can ultimately lead to
blindness. The bad news is, this disease cannot be treated, several vitamin
therapies have been suggested to cure this condition, but none produce
significant results. Dog genetic diseases are diseases which your dog is bound
to develop, accepting this fact and dealing with it is the best way to treat
your dog, never let your dog know that you are sad, if you are happy, he or she
will automatically be happy!
