Maltese Issues
Maltese Issues
Hypoglycemia: the medical term for low blood sugar is a condition associated with a sudden drop in the level of blood sugar. This commonly affects the small toy breeds as puppies, and usually not seen in puppies over twelve weeks of age. It is most likely caused by the uneven spurts in growth of the internal organs of the puppy, especially the pancreas which is associated with insulin production. Symptoms that a dogs sugar level has dropped too low include: weakness, confusion, drooling, pale gums, seizures. These attacks can be fatal. Prevention from these attacks are monitored through diet. Always ask your local vet for advice!!
Ear infections: Dogs with long ears are more predisposed to ear problems than
those breeds with short, erect ears. As the ear folds, it covers the ear canal
and prohibits air from entering and drying the canal.
The result is a moist, warm ear canal that is a perfect environment for
organisms to grow. It is important to check your Maltese ears regularly. The ear
should be light pink or flesh-toned and clean, and there should be no odor
coming from the ear or the ear canal. Always ask your local vet for advice
Tear Staining: Is a common problem for the Maltese. Causes can be due to a number of factors including excessive drainage of the tear duct, teeth and ear problems, diet, also both stress and excitement can cause tear production which can easily stain the fur around the eyes. The eyes need to be cleaned regularly with clean cotton wool. Depending on the cause of the tear staining diet may need to be changed, or eye ointment may be needed. Always ask your local vet for advice!
