Dogs + Medical Conditions

  • Canine herpes virus (CHV-1) is a common infection in dogs but its important role in neonatal mortality has only recently been recognised.

  • This is a tumour originating from the connective tissue of, or beneath, the skin. The tumour is diverse in appearance and several different cell lines produce tumours of similar appearance.

  • Inside the eye there is a lens which focuses light entering the eye on to the retina, which is the light sensitive surface at the back of the eye. If the whole or part of the lens within the dog's eye becomes opaque, this is called a cataract.

  • Cherry eye is the popular, and very apt, name given to a condition that can affect the third eyelids of many breeds of young dogs.

  • By definition, kidney failure is the inability of the kidneys to remove waste products from the blood.

  • All tissues and organs of the body may develop cancer (an abnormal overgrowth of their constituent cells).

  • Allergic reactions are very common in dogs. There are at least five common types of allergy in the dog.

  • While many cases of coprophagia appear to be purely behavioural, there are numerous medical problems that can cause or contribute to coprophagia.

  • The cornea is the clear part of the front of the eye through which the coloured iris can be seen. A corneal ulcer is an erosion of the outer layer of epithelial cells.

  • Canine coronavirus disease can be the cause of diarrhoea especially in puppies less than three months of age.
