Deafness Maltese-dogs Diseases |
This may be due to perforations of Maltese-Dog’s eardrum, fluid or
infection in the middle ear, or disorders of the small bones in the middle ear.
Sensorineural deafness may be due to a lesion of the cochlea in the inner ear,
the auditory nerve, or the auditory centers in the brain. It may be present
from birth of Maltes- dogs. In adults
it may be brought on by injury, disease or prolonged exposure to loud noise;
progressive sensorineural deafness is common with advancing age. This type of Maltese-dog’s deafness can be diagnosed
by various hearing tests and the treatment depends on the cause. The inner ear
of the dogs degenerates early in development, so the dog cannot pick up sound
with these structures. Some Maltese-dogs
may begin to ignore certain calls if no reward is given repeatedly for
response to these calls.
