Alaskan Shepherd Health

Alaskan Shepherds are relatively healthy breeds. However, like any other breeds, they are prone to health conditions stemming from their lineage. Thus, to keep them healthy, it is vital to take this designer dog to the veterinarian for regular health checkups and ensure that he is updated with vaccinations. The lifespan of Alaskan Shepherds is 10 – 15 years. Some inherited health problems are listed below:

Hip Dysplasia: A disorder that affects canines in their growing phase. It leads the hip joint to relax, resulting in discomfort and dysfunction. In addition, the cartilage and bones in the dog’s hip start to wear away as he develops. This leads to arthritis, muscular atrophy, and decreased mobility over time.  

Elbow Dysplasia: This disorder occurs when the elbow joint bones don’t fit appropriately. This condition generates abnormal pressure at the joint, leading to chronic rubbing and painful osteoarthritis.

Symptoms 

  • Mild to moderate pain
  • Lameness in the forelimbs

Cataracts: Just like humans, canine cataracts are characterized by cloudy spots on the eye lens that can grow gradually. Cataracts may develop at any age and often don’t damage vision, although they cause vision loss in some cases. A board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist certifies the breeding dogs after testing them free of hereditary eye disease before breeding. Usually, you can remove cataracts surgically with good results.

Panosteitis: A bone inflammation common in puppies with long legs due to rapid bone growth.

Degenerative Myelopathy(DM), commonly known as chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy (CDRM), is a spinal cord illness that causes weakening and paralysis in the hind limbs. Degeneration of the white matter of the spinal cord causes the symptoms.

Epilepsy: This is the most prevalent neurological disease in canines, concerning about 0.75 percent of the population. Epilepsy is a broad name for disorders characterized by repeated, uncontrollable seizures caused by a brain defect.

Hypothyroidism is a condition in which a dog’s metabolism is slowed due to the lack of thyroid hormone production. Symptoms are: 

  • Lethargy 
  • Gaining weight 
  • Reluctance to work out 
  • Hair Loss

Diabetes: Diabetes is a disease that can be found in any dog breed. However, some breeds are more prone to developing diabetes than others. For example, dogs with high body weight and a high-fat diet are the most likely to develop diabetes, while those fed a low-calorie diet are less likely to suffer from it. The reason is that they don’t consume enough calories.

Obesity: Obesity is a common health disease in the German Shepherd mixes. Excess weight can result in back pain, digestive disorders, joint problems, and heart diseases. The ideal way to control this disorder is by maintaining a healthy diet and exercise.

Cartilaginous Exostosis is a disorder of the bones due to excessive deposition of calcium. 

Achondroplasia is a condition where the dog suffers from hip or elbow dysplasia and the malfunctioning of many body parts.

Glaucoma: It is caused by increased pressure in the eye and is found in two forms: primary, which is hereditary, and secondary, which is caused by the decreased fluid in the eye. Symptoms include pain and loss of vision. Treatment includes surgery or eye drops. 

Heart Disease: This causes irregular heart murmurs and heartbeat. It can be identified through an X-ray or ECG. In addition, dental care, medications, and weight control can aid in controlling this disease.

Cancers: A leading health disease affecting dogs. The most standard ones are:  

  • Lymphoma: A severe illness that affects lymphocyte cells. 
  • Hemangiosarcoma: This is a hazardous form of cancer that originates in the lining of blood vessels and the spleen. It most commonly happens in middle-aged and elderly dogs.
  • Osteosarcoma: Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone cancer common in large and giant breeds.
