The petite and cute Pomeranian is one of the more popular dog breeds now, even Jay Chou has a Pomeranian named Maji. Although Bomei is very popular, do you know it? There are flaws in the genes of purebred Pomeranians that cannot be ignored, so some Pomeranians may suffer from the five diseases described below. Owners must understand when raising them, otherwise they may make their dogs life-threatening.
1. Endocrine problems< /p>
Pomeranians may be weaker than other dogs, so they often have some endocrine problems, such as hypothyroidism, endocrine disorders, etc., which may cause skin problems, such as skin inflammation . Therefore, the Pomeranian has relatively strict requirements on its own living environment. As the owner, it is necessary to change the Pomeranian sleeping mat frequently, and its activity area also needs to be cleaned and disinfected daily.
2. Joint problems
Because Pomeranians are born with genetic defects, the bones will be relatively fragile, especially the forelimbs, which will fracture if you are not careful , There may also be joint dislocation of the hind limbs. Therefore, when Bomei is bouncing around, the owners should pay more attention; in addition, in terms of diet, they should also pay attention to balanced nutrition and timely supplement calcium.
3. Eye problems
Pomeranians are particularly prone to eye problems. Many Pomeranians may suffer from cataracts or retinal atrophy after the age of four , and the probability is very high. Therefore, the owners must protect the eyes of the Pomeranian in daily life, and take the Pomeranian to the hospital for eye examination regularly to prevent problems before they happen. The daily diet is also best to be light, and when the Pomeranian has tear stains, it should be wiped clean in time to prevent the Pomeranian's eyes from being inflamed.
4. Cardiovascular problems
Some Pomeranian dogs are particularly susceptible to open duct arterial disease, which is simply a disease in the blood During circulation, when blood is transported to the aorta and pulmonary artery of the heart, it may be transported to an abnormal blood vessel, resulting in cardiovascular problems. In order to prevent this problem, the owners should control the amount of exercise of Pomeranians in normal times, as well asNever scare it.
5. Respiratory problems
When many Pomeranians enter middle-aged and old age, they may have tracheal collapse, and the symptom is cough. Many times, the owner may treat this symptom as a cold, so I would like to remind everyone that if the older Pomeranian shows signs of coughing and cannot confirm that it is caused by a cold, then take the dog to the doctor as soon as possible.
For the above content, as long as the owners are aware of it, it is not difficult to raise a smart, cute, healthy and lively Pomeranian.
