Health and breeding information
What diseases can occur in the Ewokian?
Havanese-Pomeranian hybrids are popular crossbreeds that are attractive to many people because they combine the best traits of their parents. While they are usually healthy and hardy, they are also prone to some diseases that need to be watched out for.
A common problem with this hybrid breed is heart disease. Some of the most commonly diagnosed problems are mitral regurgitation, leiomyomatosis, cardiomyopathy and atrial myxoma. These conditions can be diagnosed early with regular heart exams at the veterinarian.
Another common problem is caused by a congenital eye disease called keratectasia. Usually occurring in younger animals, this condition can cause the cornea of the eye to deform into an irregular shape. There are also other eye diseases, such as glaucoma or retinopathy, that are more common in this crossbreed than in other breeds. Therefore, a dog that has such a sign should be examined quickly by a veterinarian.
Respiratory problems can also occur in this crossbreed. Some of the most common problems are bronchitis, pneumonia, and allergic reactions. Symptoms often associated with these conditions include nasal discharge, coughing, shortness of breath or seizures. If these signs occur, a veterinarian should be consulted.
Other possible diseases in Havanese-Pomeranian crossbreeds include luxation disease inherited from the parent breed. Luxation is a compound and should be carefully monitored and treated to prevent progressive damage to the joints.

Although these diseases are common in Ewokians, it should be stressed that regular vet visits are crucial to maintaining your dog's health and catching any problems early.
