Not all conditions are covered by Pet Insurance. Anti-seizure medications can be prescribed for affected dogs. Fairly common in certain breeds, a genetic basis is suspected. A seizure is a sudden surge in the electrical activity of the brain causing signs such as twitching, spasms, shaking, tremors and/or convulsions. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterised by seizures that have no known cause.There is no cure, but most dogs adapt very easily to the vision loss, provided their familiar environment does not change too much. Progressive retinal atrophy refers to a family of eye diseases which gradually result in the deterioration of the retina, causing first night blindness then progressing to total blindness.Mild cases generally do not require treatment and do not impact too much on the dog’s life, but severe cases may require surgery. Patellar luxation occurs when the bones of the patella (kneecap) are not aligned properly and as a result slip in and out of place, causing pain and an abnormal gait.Less severe cases can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications, but surgery may be required for serious cases. Hip dysplasia is a condition where the thighbone and hip do not fit together properly at the hip joint, causing pain and lameness.Cataracts occur in dogs as they do in humans, when a cloudy membrane forms over the lens of the eye, causing vision loss.This form of heart disease generally occurs at a much younger age in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel than in other breeds, therefore Cavoodle owners should be aware. MVD begins with a heart murmur that becomes increasingly problematic until the animal suffers heart failure and dies.

This can cause the dog mild discomfort or a great deal of pain depending on the severity of the condition.

I've pared back my wardrobe (well, ish), streamlined and feng shui'd my living room, and most determinedly, taken my substantial makeup collection to task. Ever since I started spending all of my time at home during the pandemic, I, like so many, have reevaluated my relationship to the many physical things taking up space in my tiny, cramped apartment.
