Dog Health Symptoms

Miguel Said:

Plzz help! Are Shiba Inu, a dog breed prone to genetic disorders and health issues?

We Answered:

If your breeder was reputable, the parents would have been certified clear of hip problems by OFA, and the eyes would have been certified by CERF. If the breeder did these checks, your pup is not toally immune to problems, but is a whole LOT less likely to have them. Here is a good website that explains some things that run in shibas: http://www.shibas.org/images/nsca.jpg

A regular vet exam and being aware of any changes in oyur dog will help catch problems early enough to treat. Good luck!

You don't say what foods you have tried but check out recall lists and keep the dog off things like soy..gluten. corn meal..he may have digestive troubles also..Try wellness, Innova something along those lines if you haven't

Jerome Said:

What are symptoms of a unhealthy dog? from appearance?

We Answered:

No, the color of a dogs fur does not indicate health. The state of your dogs fur may though. If it's falling out (more then just your average shedding or molting), patchy or thin your dog may have a problem. You're supposed to take your dog to the vet when you think it may be sick and yes it can be expensive.
