What diseases can occur in Jack Russell Terrier and Poodle mix.
One of the most popular mixed breed dogs is the Jack Russell Terrier-Poodle mix. This mixed breed is a great companion dog that is intelligent and energetic. They are also known for being one of the healthiest mixed breed dogs. However, like all dogs, they are also prone to some health problems. Here are some of the known diseases of Jack Russell Terrier-Poodle mixes:
- Patellar luxation: this is a common orthopedic problem in small dogs, also known as "knee joint dislocation". It occurs when the knee joint slips out of position. This can be painful and may require surgery.
- Legg-Calve-Perthes disease: this is another orthopedic problem that affects small dogs. It is caused by a loss of blood supply to the head of the femur, which can cause the bone to die. This can be painful and require surgery.
- Allergies: Like all dogs, the Jack Russell Terrier Poodle can suffer from allergies. These can be related to foods, environmental allergens, or even flea bites. Allergies can cause itching, skin problems and gastrointestinal problems.
- Epilepsy: This is a neurological disorder that causes seizures. It can be inherited or acquired. Epilepsy can be treated with medication, but in some dogs surgery is required to remove the affected part of the brain.
- Cataracts: This is a common eye problem in dogs. It is caused by a protein buildup in the lens of the eye that leads to cloudy vision. Surgery is the only way to correct cataracts.
Although these are some of the most common health problems in Jack Russell Terrier Poodles, it is important to remember that mixed breed dogs are generally healthier than purebred dogs. This is because they have a more diverse gene pool, which reduces the likelihood of developing genetic health problems.
