 Some of the health conditions that can affect Red Teacup Poodles include,

  • Hip Dysplasia: Hip Dysplasia is a painful condition caused when the bones of the rear legs don’t fit properly in the joints. While some dogs show symptoms, most dogs won’t have any visible symptoms. Hip Dysplasia is mostly hereditary, but factors such as injuries, excessive weight gain, wrong exercises can also cause hip dysplasia. Though this condition is life-threatening, treatments are ranging from medication to replacement of the hip through surgeries. To prevent this condition, avoid breeding red teacup poodles with hip dysplasia parentage, undertake regular checkups.
  • Cushing’s Disease: Overproduction of cortisol because of any imbalance in the pituitary or adrenal gland or other health conditions can cause Cushing’s disease. The symptoms include excessive thirst, excessive water intake, and excessive urination. If your dog exhibits these symptoms, consult a vet immediately for proper treatment.
  • Progressive Retinal Atrophy: It is a degenerative disease affecting the photoreceptors of the eye. The affected dog will eventually be blind to due the deterioration of the photoreceptors cell.
  • Corneal Dystrophy: Corneal Dystrophy is also an inherent disease that can affect the layers of cornea in the eyes. It is not a painful condition, and symptoms such as forming an opaque layer are seen in some red teacup poodles.
  • Dental Disease: It affects 80% of pets by the age of two. It causes tartar build-up on the teeth, infection of the gums and roots, and in extreme cases, loss of teeth, and damage to the kidneys.
  • Legg Calve Perthes: This is a hereditary condition resulting from the degeneration of the femur in the bone joints of the hip. Legg Calve Perthes is common in small breed dogs. If the severity worsens, it can lead to arthritis or the inability to walk.
  • Patellar Luxation: The malformation of the knee joints leading the bone to slip out of its position in the knee is patellar luxation. The disease’s degree depends on the severity and the dog’s age when it gets affected.
