• 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.

• 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.

• Growth hormone-responsive dermatosis; adrenal sex hormone-responsive dermatosis

  Haut und Fell

  This is a hormonal skin condition affecting the endocrine system, where an imbalance in adrenal sex hormones or a lack of growth hormone leads to symmetrical hair loss. The skin's hair follicles stop producing new hair, causing them to enter a permanent resting phase. While the skin and coat are affected, the dog's internal organs and overall physical health typically remain completely normal.

• Hyperparathyroidism(PHPT)

  Stoffwechsel

  This condition involves the overactivity of the parathyroid glands, which are small endocrine glands located in the neck. These glands produce an excess of parathyroid hormone, causing calcium levels in the blood to rise abnormally high and potentially damage vital organs like the kidneys.
