The hereditary illnesses of the cocker
The hereditary illnesses of the cocker are three:
the dysplasia of the hip, the
PRA (progressive atrophy of the retina), and the family nephropathies
NF also dictates, fortunately today test graces specific we can make couplings aimed at so that to be able to guarantee the more possible beautiful puppies not only but also healthy.
NF: The family nephropathies is a chronic renal illness that brings the dog, that has developed the illness, to a precocious death between the six months and the two years. The clinical symptoms of the illness begin to be revealed between the four and the six months, the pup will have' thirst and excessive urination, vomit, diarrhoea, loss of the appetite and accordingly also of weight. The illness manifests when two healthy (said carrier) carriers are joined among them giving birth to born a 25% of sick pups, a 25% of healthy (what carriers are not and they will never develop the illness) pups and 50% of other healthy carriers.
PRA: the hereditary illness of the retina more diffused that brings to the blindness in the dogs is the PRA (progressive atrophy of the retina) in the case of the cockers is said progressive degeneration cone-rod (pcrd), the stricken dogs can usually have the diminution of the whetted visual from the four-seven years. The first sign of the greatest part of PRA is the blindness night-time because the first ones to be damaged are the wands (the cells that allow the light reduced vision) subsequently the cones (the cells that allow the vision the diurnal light) the owners of the dogs will be struck they will also notice the pupils often dilated. Thanks to valid researchers today is possible to make test at the dogs for this illness.
The dysplasia of the hip: the dysplasia of the hip in the dog is the cause more frequent of osteoarthritis to load of such articulation, despite years of search and study the progress in the prevention of this invalidating illness are still potentially inadequate. An accurate screening of the canine population is able to prevent the transmission of the generations illness future discarding from the reproduction the subjects affections from such pathology and graces to new medicines the dog that is affection can relatively conduct a normal life of it.
The causes of the dysplasia of the hip can derive from numerous factors from those genetic up to those environmental, the subjects that are affections introduces a scarce development of the muscular mass of it in comparison to the skeletal development. The inadequacy of the musculature in to maintain congruent the articulation favours a condition of laxity articular, this determines a progressive leaving of the head of the femur from the hollow acetabular and a progressive reduction of the area of contact among the two articular surfaces it achieves alterations of the cartilage, micro bony fractures and alterations of the profile acetabular and of the femoral head that represent the antechamber of the arthrosis.
I have felt in duty to give these few notions so that to make to understand to whom wanted to purchase a friend to four legs, the importance to ask for children of dogs made a will for not having to face an avoidable sufferings tomorrow thanks to an accurate selection of the breed.
The long ears of the cocker: as to take takes care of.
The ear for the dog is an important organ, thanks to their hearing are able to perceive possible dangers and to perceive during the hunting possible preys hidden that they are betrayed also making noises few perceptible. Whatever infection interests the ear channel and eardrum they alter and they reduce the sensibility of the sounds. For otitis it intends therefore whatever illness of the ear, in the dogs it is very frequent it usually interests the external ear and only if neglected it can be serious.
The otitis have usually varied causes, chills, vegetable extraneous bodies that in the warm season they penetrate in the ear, bacteria and mushrooms that find in the ear an environment warm dampness whether to proliferate. When the dog is affection from otitis it will complain, it will beat the head and it will continually be scratched the ears, you/he/she will be enough to throw on the ears dl our dog, and we will notice a strong blush of the fabrics, odour and strong secretion. Let's not alarm us, our veterinarian of trust will know how to help us to resolve the problem according to the symptoms he will recommend us the most suitable product for a ready recovery (antibacterial, parasiticides...).
For what concerns the care daily I suggest to wash the ear with deroxenoto and to clean it with a gauze rolled up around the finger every week, warmly recommends besides to cut the hair in excess inside the ear. The breeder will be always to your service for suggestions.

Few but useful information on the canine leishmaniosi...
The leishmaniosi is a chronic infectious and contagious illness generally caused by protozoa of the kind leishmania. The agent vector of the parasite is the phlebotomist (the agent pathogen is transmitted by an invertebrate vector which reproduces and he multiplies). The diffusion of the illness results influenced by many factors: environment, climate, lack of immunizing garrisons and again... In the last years there have been numerous signalling of canine leishmaniosi in all Italy, they don't exist therefore zones that can be considered completely sure. The illness almost exclusively manifests in generalized form, a visceral illness is considered in which the cutaneous lesions are a consequence of the dissemination of the parasite, it has a period of incubation that has been varying for one month to four. In the chronic typical form the picture of symptoms results various and complex, the greatest symptoms are: lymphoadenopaty generalized asymmetrical, cutaneous lesions, pallor of the mucous ones, loss of weight, pyrexia, lethargy, anorexia, renal insufficiency... As prophylaxis let's remember first of all us that the phlebotomists are attracted by the night time lights, we submit the dog's basket and the kennels to frequent insecticide treatments, we protect the dog with drops spot on type advantix to be associated to a collar that calls scalibor.

Small shrewdness in case of poisoning.
For poisoning it intends a state of poisoning caused by poisons that can be of natural or synthetic origin. The poisoning if serious it can bring the dog to the death.
The poisoning can be due to the case and the voracity of the animal, from punctures of bugs and from the bite of viper. If we realize there that the dog has ingested dangerous substances we can provoke him the vomit with water and salt, if instead it is from contact immediately to wash with cold water, we race however immediately from the veterinarian.
Being the cocker a very curious dog we hold the medicines and the cleansers in a little accessible places, attention also to the products from gardening as fertilizer, parasiticides and so street... if by chance gimmicks in the balcony or in garden some dead animal as mice and pigeons let's remove it immediately. There are then the due poisonings to the cruelty of the man that it usually uses cyanide, strychnine, barbiturates, organ phosphoric, the symptoms are dyspnoea, dizziness, loss of muscular strength, foam from the mouth, paralysis, vomit, collapse... we immediately look for the nearest veterinarian... I RECOMMEND.
As it regards the punctures of bees, wasps, hornets, are usually to use well of the antihistaminic ones and to cool the part aims, if the punctures are manifold however there can be the danger of a shock anaphylactic that in exemplary hypersensitive and allergic it can also bring to the death in this case we race more quickly the possible from the veterinarian. If the dog is bite by a viper and is under optimal conditions of health it will overcome the poisoning without great troubles is however better resorting to the veterinarian.
