• Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA)(IMHA)

  Andere

  Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) is a severe condition where the dog's immune system mistakenly identifies its own red blood cells as foreign threats and destroys them. Because red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen, this destruction leads to a critical oxygen shortage throughout the body's organs. This disease primarily impacts the immune and circulatory systems.

• Ectropion / Entropion

  Augen

  These are structural eyelid abnormalities affecting a dog's eyes. In cases of entropion, the eyelid rolls inward, causing the eyelashes or fur to rub painfully against the surface of the eyeball. In ectropion, the eyelid sags or rolls outward, leaving the sensitive inner lining of the eye exposed and unprotected.

• Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)(PRA)

  Augen

  Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) is an inherited eye disease that affects the retina, which is the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye. In this condition, the specialized cells responsible for detecting light, known as photoreceptors, gradually degenerate and die. Because these cells cannot recover or be replaced, the disease slowly but inevitably leads to complete blindness.

• Retinal Dysplasia(RD)

  Augen

  Retinal dysplasia is a congenital condition affecting the eyes, where the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye) does not develop properly during growth in the womb. This abnormal development leads to structural defects like folds or gaps in the retinal layers. Because the retina is responsible for sending visual signals to the brain, these imperfections can impair normal vision.

• Corneal dystrophy(CD)

  Augen und Sehvermögen

  Corneal dystrophy is an inherited eye disorder where abnormal, opaque materials like fats or calcium build up in the cornea, which is the clear outer layer of the eye. This accumulation typically affects both eyes and is non-inflammatory, meaning it does not cause immediate swelling or redness. Over time, these deposits can disrupt the smooth surface of the eye.

• Cataract(HC)

  Augen und Sehvermögen

  A cataract is a progressive clouding of the lens inside the dog's eye, which is the clear structure that focuses light onto the retina at the back of the eye. When the lens becomes cloudy or opaque, it blocks light from entering, gradually impairing the dog's vision. If left untreated, this condition can eventually lead to complete blindness in the affected eye.

• Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome(CMS)

  Bewegungsapparat

  Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (CMS) is an inherited genetic disorder that disrupts the communication between nerves and muscles. This breakdown in the neuromuscular system prevents signals from reaching the muscles properly, leading to rapid muscle fatigue and weakness. Unlike some other muscle-weakness disorders, this is a congenital condition present from birth and is not caused by an autoimmune system malfunction.

• Fold dermatitis/pyoderma

  Haut und Fell

  Fold dermatitis, also known as intertrigo, is an inflammatory skin condition that occurs within deep skin folds. When skin rubs against skin, it traps moisture, heat, and debris, creating an ideal environment for bacteria and yeast to overgrow. This leads to localized skin infections, particularly in breeds with pronounced facial, lip, or tail folds.

• Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (Cutaneous asthenia)(EDS)

  Haut und Fell

  Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, also known as cutaneous asthenia, is an inherited connective tissue disorder that affects the skin and joints. It is caused by a genetic defect in collagen, which is the primary structural protein that provides strength and elasticity to tissues. Because of this defect, the skin lacks its normal structural integrity, making it unusually fragile, thin, and loose.

• Psoriasiform-lichenoid dermatosis

  Haut und Fell

  This is a rare skin condition that causes chronic, scaly, and crusty lesions on the outer layer of a dog's skin. The term 'psoriasiform-lichenoid' describes the physical appearance of the skin, which develops both scaly patches and thickened, bumpy areas. While the underlying cause is currently unknown and only suspected to be genetic, the condition is mild and does not impact the dog's internal organs or overall health.

• Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)(PDA)

  Herz

  Patent ductus arteriosus is a congenital heart defect where a normal fetal blood vessel connecting the aorta and the pulmonary artery fails to close shortly after birth. This failure allows blood to continuously recirculate through the lungs instead of flowing to the rest of the body, putting severe, permanent strain on the heart muscle. Over time, this volume overload causes the left side of the heart to enlarge and weaken.

• Diabetes mellitus(DM)

  Hormonelles und Stoffwechsel

  Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder affecting the endocrine system, specifically the pancreas, which fails to produce enough insulin. Insulin is a vital hormone that allows the body's cells to absorb glucose, or sugar, from the bloodstream to use as energy. Without sufficient insulin, sugar builds up in the blood while the body's cells are starved of fuel.

• Phosphofructokinase (PFK) deficiency(PFK)

  Hormonelles und Stoffwechsel

  This inherited metabolic disorder is caused by a lack of a key enzyme needed to break down sugar for energy in red blood cells and muscles. Without this enzyme, these cells cannot function properly, leading to muscle damage and the premature destruction of red blood cells, which is called hemolysis. This deficiency primarily impacts the muscular and circulatory systems.

• Hypomyelination(HYM)

  Nervensystem

  This is an inherited neurological disorder affecting the central nervous system, where the protective myelin sheath that insulates nerve fibers fails to develop properly. Without this adequate insulation, nerve signals cannot travel efficiently between the brain and the body. This disruption leads to impaired coordination and involuntary muscle movements.

• Bleeding disorder

  Stoffwechsel

  A bleeding disorder is a malfunction of the circulatory system where the blood cannot clot properly due to missing or defective clotting factors or platelets, which are the cells responsible for plugging damaged blood vessels. This impairment prevents the body from effectively sealing wounds, leading to prolonged internal or external bleeding.

• Lysosomal storage diseases(LSD)

  Stoffwechsel

  Lysosomal storage diseases are inherited metabolic disorders where a dog's cells lack the specific enzymes needed to break down cellular waste. Without these enzymes, waste products build up inside the cells and cause severe, progressive damage to organs, particularly the brain and nervous system.
