Bedlington Terrier's health problems
Bedlington Terrier are generally healthy dogs, but like all other dogs, they can get some diseases, not all of them, but if you take care of this breed, you should be aware of them.
Copper poisoning:
It is an inherited disease that occurs when the liver cannot excrete copper in food, which leads to the accumulation of copper in the body, resulting in illness and death.
The disease is caused by a defective autosomal recessive trait. A dog that inherits this gene from both parents is infected with the disease, and if it inherits from only one parent, it is called a carrier.
DNA testing can tell if the dog has the disease or is carrying the gene, and if necessary, to remove the genes from the body.
Kashkak's dislocation:
Chestnut dislocation or suffocation is usually common in small dogs, and it occurs when the patella (which has three parts, the femur, the patella, and the tibia) is not properly formed.
The disease causes one or both legs to limp and an abnormal gait in the dog.
Although this congestion occurs at birth, symptoms do not appear long after. Itching caused by rubbing can lead to arthritis or degenerative disease.
Distichiasis:
The disease occurs when an extra row of eyelashes grows on the dog's sebaceous glands along the edge of the lower eyelid, irritating the eye, in which case the dog may have two noses or constantly rub his eyes.
Veterinarians operate and remove these lashes by placing frozen nitrogen in the liquid. This type of operation is performed under complete anesthesia.
All layers of hypoplasia:
The disease occurs when one or both kidneys do not grow abnormally when the dog has kidney failure.
The first signs of the disease are thirst, which increases urinary excretion. It is incurable and can only be controlled.
Retinal dysplasia:
It impairs retinal growth and occurs at birth.
The condition is mild and does not cause blindness in dogs.
Veterinarians can diagnose the disease between the ages of 7 and 12 weeks.
