Title: What To Do About Beagle Health Problems
Author: Michelle A Adams
A lot of people love the beagle breed of dog mostly for its
friendly demeanor and its ability to be a good dog with
children. But beagle health problems are somewhat common and can
range from the regular cuts and scratches that any dog gets all
the way up to ailments that are almost completely proprietary to
the beagle. Keep an eye on your beagle and start to become
familiar with the warning signs for beagle health problems.
Beagles are well known as a breed of dog that will eat anything
in sight and then not care so much about their "girlish figure".
Beagles are big on eating and not so big on exercise so your
beagle will gladly trade off a run in the sun for a bowl of
food. It is for that reason that you have to protect your beagle
from obesity by keeping an eye on its diet. Beagles will eat
anything put in front of them whether they are hungry or not so
be diligent a bout supplying a healthy balanced diet.
Beagles suffer beagle health problems like problems with their
eyes. An eye condition common among beagles is a condition
called distichiasis, which is a condition where the eyelashes
grow into the eye and cause irritation and potentially
infection. This condition can be solved with surgery and if you
notice a problem with your beagle's eyes get them to a vet right
away. While this problem can be solved with surgery it is
important to identify the onset of the problem as soon as
possible and seek proper medical assistance right away.
A beagle is also apt to contract some form of renal atrophy
where parts of the eye begin to deteriorate over time. If you
notice that your beagle's eyes are especially dry, or the other
end of the spectrum and you notice that they tear up
excessively, then you need to get your beagle to the vet right
away.
Nature has a way of playing a mean little trick on the beagle
in that some of the beagle health problems are directly related
to something the beagle and its owner can do nothing about, that
is the way the beagle is built. The beagles' big floppy ears can
sometimes prevent air from flowing in and out of the ears like
it should and this can cause a lot of problems. One of the main
problems is a build up of moisture in the ear that can cause
serious beagle health problems. So always check in around and
under your beagle's ears on a regular basis.
Some of the things that sound awful with a beagle are
completely harmless. For some reason beagles occasionally
experience what is known as reverse sneezing. It sounds like
they are trying desperately to catch their breath but they are
just fine and it is harmless. But don't let little warnings go
unattended with your beagle and get it to the vet if you think
something may be wrong.
