What diseases can occur in Shar-Pei and Mali mix.
Shar-Pei Belgian Shepherd mixes are a unique breed of dogs that have become increasingly popular over the years. Although Shar Peis are both hardy and resilient, there are some diseases associated with this breed. In this article, we will look at some of the most common diseases found in Shar Pei Belgian Shepherd mixes.
The first and most well-known condition is the so-called "boil face", which is also known as "Shar-Pei facies". In this condition, inflammation and boils form on the dog's face. It is a very painful condition that causes narrow pores and an overproduction of sebum, resulting in a blockage of the sebaceous glands. The dog may have very itchy areas and frequent scratching can cause bleeding and scarring.
Other common problems in Shar-Pei-Belgian Sheepdog mixes are allergies and respiratory problems. This is often due to the allergenic substance in the dog's food and inhaled allergens such as pollen, dust and mold. Most respiratory problems are caused by the dog's wide nose, which makes him prone to airway blockages.
Another condition that can occur in Shar-Pei-Belgian Sheepdog mixes is called "entropion." In this disorder, the dog's eyelids turn inward and irritate the eyelid bones. This irritation can cause general discomfort and in more severe cases, pain, eye inflammation, edema and even temporary blindness.
The last disease that can occur in Shar-Pei-Belgian Sheepdog mixes is the so-called "pyoderma". This disease is caused by bacteria and leads to inflammation, redness and in more severe cases pustules. The dog may experience itching, hair loss and discoloration of the skin.
Overall, these diseases are quite serious, but with proper care and treatment measures, they can be effectively treated. Therefore, it is important for owners to have their Shar-Pei-Belgian Shepherd mixes examined on a regular basis to detect possible symptoms early and initiate treatment.
