Glaucoma Maltese-Dogs-disease

This is the condition in which loss of vision occurs because of an abnormally high pressure in the eyes of Maltese-dogs. In most cases there is no other ocular disease. This is known as primary glaucoma and there are two pathologically distinct types, acute and chronic simple. In acute glaucoma, there is an unexpected rise in pressure due to sudden closure of the angle between the cornea and iris where aqueous humour usually drains from the eye of the Maltese-dogs.                                                                       

This is accompanied by pain and marked blurring of vision associated with inflammation of the anterior segment. In the more common chronic simple glaucoma, the pressure rises slowly, commonly without producing pain, and the visual loss is insidious for the Maltese-dogs. The same type of visual loss of the Maltese-dogs may rarely occur in eyes with a normal pressure, this is called low-tension glaucoma. Primary glaucoma occurs increasingly with age and is an important cause of blindness. Secondary glaucoma may occur when other ocular disease damages the normal circulation of the aqueous humour((the watery fluid that fills the chamber of the eye instantly behind the cornea and in front of the lens. It is continually being formed chiefly by capillaries of the ciliary processes. And it drains away into Schlemm's canal, at the junction of the cornea and sclera)) And causes the intraocular pressure to Rise .               

In all types of glaucoma the eventual problem is to reduce the intraocular (of or relating to the area within the eyeball. An intraocular lens implant is a plastic lens placed inside the eye after cataract extraction to replace the natural lens) pressure. Drops are inserted into the eye of the Maltese-dogs at regular intervals to improve the outflow of aqueous humour from the eye and or to reduce the production of aqueous humour. Drugs used for this purpose include beta blockers (for example  timolol, levobunolol, carteolol), carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (for example  brinzolamide, dorzolamide), alpha-receptor stimulants ( apraclonidine, brimonidine), and latanoprost. If this treatment is ineffective, surgery may be performed to make a new channel through which the aqueous humour may drain from the eye of the Maltes- dogs in sufficient quantities to allow the pressure to return to normal. Such operations are known as drainage or filtering operations.  

                    

This disease Glaucoma very painful and Maltese-dogs that are affected to this disease feel very pain in their eyes they rub their eyes with their paws any kind of other things like trees,walls and furniture.the symptoms of this disease is different to those symptoms that being observed at that stage when Maltese- dogs suffered in this disease. It can be attacked one or both eyes. Many Maltese dogs suffered in light sensitive and they mhide himself in the dark corners or the shade of walls.The organs of Maltese-dogs that affected by this disease are Nervous and sensory organs.

 Cryptorchidism disease Maltese-Dog

Cryptorchidism disease Maltese-Dog

Maltese-dogs-Cryptorchidism-pic

In this disease the tests of the Maltese-dogs fail to move down in the scrotum. The scrotum is place the paired sac that holds the testes and epididymides outside the abdominal cavity. Its function is to allow the production and storage of spermatozoa to occur at a lower temperature than that of the abdomen. Further temperature control is achieved by contraction or relaxation of muscles in the scrotum. In these disorder tests of the Maltese-dogs kept within in abdomen or inguinal canal (relating to or affecting the region of the groin).  It sometimes one tests and in severe cases it attacked the both tests.

An operation is carried by the doctors that are called orchidopexy operation to move down the tests of the Maltese-dogs. It is necessary that all these steps should be taken in the teenage years. Because it is considering that high temperature in the abdomen of the Maltese-dogs interfere with the sperm production of the male Maltese-dogs. Tests normally move down to the scrotum in the age of 2 to 4 months and Maltese-dogs tests are commonly in the abdomen of the dogs always. When this disease attack then one or both tests not passed in to the groin (the external depression on the front of the body that marks the junction of the abdomen with either of the thighs).Maltese-dogs become unfertile after the suffering in this disease. Commonly male Maltese- dogs attacked by this disease as compare to the female Maltese-dogs.

Deafness Maltese-dogs Diseases

Deafness Maltese-dogs Diseases

Deafness Maltese-dogs Diseases

Its inherited deafness that decreased hearing ability of the Maltese-dogs-breed . In This situation dogs could be the loss hearing quality by one ear or both, sometimes it attacks one ear of the dogs but in severe cases it hits the both ear of the dogs and loss their hearing ability. Sometimes do not response the any human call and they pay attention at the dog’s voices? In addition to this these Maltes- dogs can hear any other sound without any difficult and clearly. Conductive deafness is due to a defect in the conduction of sound from the external ear to the inner ear.                                       

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.

Patellar Luxation Maltese-Dogs Diseases

Patellar Luxation Maltese-Dogs Diseases

 

Dislocation from the usual location of bones of Maltese-dogs-breeds meeting at a joint such that there is complete loss of contact of the joint surfaces. It commonly results from trauma but may be present at birth, in which case it commonly affects the hip. In a disturbing displacement the bones are restored to their regular locations by treatment under local or general anesthesia. Compare subluxation. In medical terms knee  cap known as the Patella which is necessary to located in the center of the knee. Whenever knee cap moves from its original place to outside or other place then this disease is known as the luxating patella in Maltese-dogs-breed. This disease normally observed in the Maltese-dog’s-breeds when they are just 2 years old. Symptoms of this disease are common but some are very severe like lameness for sometimes or impermanent lameness and also hopping motion being in observed. When this disease attack the Maltese-dog’s-breeds and their puppies, it is difficult for them to touch legs on the ground. If both legs are affected then dogs might be adopt crouched gait and they feel pain in the joints. Maltese-dogs breed show inefficiency in walking as well as can be disobeying the order of their trainer and owner. In this situation dogs walked by their forelegs slowly. Surgery required to get rid from this disease. Young Maltese-dogs breed are more at the risk than the old dogs of this breed. The organs are involved and being affected by this disease are the musculoskeletal organs mainly. These organs mostly affected by this disease when it attacks the young Maltese-dog’s-breed.                                                                                                            

                                                                        

Hip Dysplasia Maltese-Dogs Diseases

Hip Dysplasia Maltese-Dogs Diseases

Maltese-Dogs hip dysplasia could be affect the single or both legs hips at a time. The symbols and signs that externally observed depend on the situation that in which situation disease is or severity of the illness that might be getting worst with time. In beginning when Maltese-dogs affected by this disease commonly they feel difficult to walk and sit or climbing stairs. Normally dogs shows the unwillingness to move that joint which is affected by disease and some trained Maltese-dogs can’t do all that things which was  sad by the trainer or their owner addition to this dogs show weakness all the time. Dog’s walks slow they feel difficulty but at the same time they can run fast and this kind of limpness called bunny hopping walk. It becomes more severe when dogs expanded its legs and sometimes weight is being placed on dog’s legs. You can see the lameness particularly when dogs do the tiring exercises. In many cases lameness disease affected the Maltese-dogs and their puppies permanently. Therefore in this condition dogs loses its hip joints and hip dysplasia accrue in those dogs that affected by the lameness disease. This disease mostly affects the musculoskeletal organs in the Maltese-dogs that weak these organs internally due to this hip Dysplasia occur.
