• 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.

• Microphthalmia

  Augen

  Microphthalmia is a congenital developmental disorder of the visual system where one or both of a dog's eyeballs are abnormally small. This structural defect occurs during embryonic development and is often accompanied by other eye abnormalities, such as cataracts, which are cloudy areas in the lens of the eye. Because the eyeball itself is underdeveloped, the surrounding eyelids may also appear droopy or misaligned.

• 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.

• Acral lick dermatitis (lick granuloma)(ALD)

  Haut und Fell

  Acral lick dermatitis is a chronic skin disorder where a dog compulsively licks a specific area, usually on its lower limbs, leading to self-inflicted wounds. This behavior is often triggered by a mix of psychological factors like boredom or anxiety, and physical issues like joint pain or allergies. Over time, the constant licking damages the skin barrier and prevents the area from healing.

• Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA)(CDA)

  Haut und Fell

  Color Dilution Alopecia is a genetic skin disorder that affects dogs with diluted coat colors, such as blue, fawn, or lilac. It is caused by an abnormal distribution of pigment within the hair shafts, which makes the hair brittle and prone to breaking. This structural weakness leads to progressive hair loss and leaves the skin more vulnerable to irritation.

• Demodicosis / Demodectic mange

  Haut und Fell

  Demodicosis is a skin disease caused by an overgrowth of microscopic Demodex mites that naturally live inside a dog's hair follicles. While these mites are normally harmless, an inherited or acquired weakness in the immune system can allow them to multiply uncontrollably. This overgrowth leads to inflammation and damage to the skin barrier.

• Ichthyosis(ICT)

  Haut und Fell

  Ichthyosis is an inherited skin disorder where the outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, does not develop or shed properly. This defect in keratinization—the process of forming a protective outer skin barrier—leads to a buildup of dry, thick, and scaly skin. Because this barrier is compromised, the dog's body is more vulnerable to secondary infections.

• Pemphigus(PF)

  Haut und Fell

  Pemphigus is a group of serious autoimmune skin diseases, including a severe deep form called pemphigus vulgaris, where the dog's immune system mistakenly attacks the proteins holding skin cells together. This attack disrupts the skin's outer layers, causing the cells to separate from one another. As a result, painful blisters, open sores, and crusts develop across the skin and mucous membranes.

• Seborrhea

  Haut und Fell

  Primary seborrhea is an inherited skin disorder where the body's natural process of shedding and replacing skin cells happens much too quickly. This rapid cell turnover disrupts the skin's protective barrier and causes an overproduction of sebum, which is the natural oil produced by the skin's glands. As a result, the skin becomes either excessively greasy or very dry and flaky.

• Vitiligo

  Haut und Fell

  Vitiligo is a harmless condition affecting the skin and coat where the body's immune system mistakenly destroys melanocytes, which are the cells responsible for producing pigment. This leads to a progressive loss of color in localized areas of the skin, nose, and fur. The condition is entirely cosmetic and does not cause any underlying illness or physical discomfort.

• Zinc-responsive dermatosis(ZRD)

  Haut und Fell

  Zinc-responsive dermatosis is a skin disorder where a dog's body cannot properly absorb or use zinc from their food, even when eating a balanced diet. This nutritional deficiency weakens the skin's protective barrier, leading to irritation and abnormal skin cell development. Because there are no genetic tests for this condition, veterinarians diagnose it using breed history, skin biopsies, and how well the dog responds to zinc therapy.

• Atrial septal defect(ASD)

  Herz

  An atrial septal defect is a congenital heart condition where a hole exists in the wall, called the septum, that separates the two upper chambers of the heart. This opening allows blood to flow abnormally between these chambers, which can gradually place extra strain on both the heart and the lungs.

• 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.

• Hypothyroidism

  Hormonelles und Stoffwechsel

  Hypothyroidism is an endocrine disorder where the thyroid gland, located in the neck, fails to produce enough thyroid hormones. These hormones are essential for regulating the body's metabolic rate, which is the speed at which cells convert nutrients into energy. When hormone levels are too low, the dog's entire metabolism slows down, affecting multiple organ systems.

• Congenital deafness(CHSD)

  Nervensystem

  Congenital deafness is a hereditary hearing loss present from birth that affects the inner ear's sensory cells, preventing sound signals from reaching the brain. It is often linked to specific genetic variants, such as those associated with certain coat patterns like merle or piebald, or breed-specific conditions like Early Onset Adult Deafness (EOAD). This genetic defect causes the vital blood supply to the inner ear to fail, leading to the permanent degeneration of the hearing nerve cells.

• Peripheral neuropathy(PN)

  Nervensystem

  This is a genetic disorder affecting the peripheral nervous system, which consists of the nerves connecting the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. In affected dogs, the protective outer coating of these nerves degrades, disrupting the electrical signals sent to muscles and organs. This leads to progressive muscle weakness and loss of coordination.

  Nieren und Harnwege

  Familial Nephropathy (FN) is an inherited kidney disease caused by a genetic defect in collagen, which is a vital structural protein. This defect damages the kidneys' filtering units, preventing them from properly removing waste products from the blood. Over time, this leads to progressive and irreversible kidney failure.

  Chronic hepatitis is a long-term, progressive inflammation of the liver, which is the organ responsible for filtering toxins and processing nutrients. This ongoing inflammation damages the liver tissue over time and can eventually lead to liver failure. It is often caused by genetic predispositions that lead to abnormal copper buildup in the liver, or by abnormal immune system responses.

It is a benign, or non-cancerous, condition that does not cause permanent damage once it resolves.
