There are many people raising dachshunds now, but most of them like the loyalty and lively character of dachshunds, especially the elasticity and pliability of dachshunds, and the wrinkle-free skin are the main reasons why netizens like them, but for the dachshunds Many parents certainly don’t know much about health knowledge, so what parents need to learn is how to make their dachshunds grow up healthy and happy.

Next, let’s briefly introduce the common diseases of Dachshunds:

1. Herniated disc. The Dachshund is a long-bodied dog with a long spine, which makes it more susceptible to spinal problems than other dogs. Dogs suffering from this disease will suffer from nerve compression due to spinal misalignment, resulting in the inability to raise their heads, inflexible feet, and difficulty urinating. In order to avoid spinal disease, you should not pull your dog's front feet up or climb high buildings, or jump up and down frequently.

2. Ringworm. This is a skin disease caused by fungus. This disease causes the dog's hair to fall out, making the dog's skin look like it has been burned by cigarette butts.

3. Eye diseases. Such as cataracts, retinal atrophy, corneal nutritional deficiency, etc. Whether it is congenital or acquired disease, it can only be treated by surgical removal of the diseased lens. But it may cause your dog’s vision to deteriorate. Retinal atrophy is mainly caused by genetics. At first, just like a person with night blindness, he or she will not be able to see clearly at night. Later, he will also be unable to see clearly during the day, or even become blind. The lack of corneal nutrition is mainly divided into two types: acute and chronic, which will lead to poor vision in dogs.

4. Respiratory allergies. Dachshunds may make snoring-like sounds after exercise, over-excitement or rapid temperature rise and fall, which usually return to normal in a few seconds. But if you don’t recover for a long time, you should see a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.

5. Mites. Generally, there are small red spots under the skin, on the dog's abdomen, inner thighs or on the skin, and the skin around the lips is red and hairless. Dogs have ear mites and have brown discharge from their ears. Sometimes they scratch their auricles due to itchiness.

The above are the common diseases of Dachshunds. Dog owners should pay more attention to their dogs' words and deeds to avoid unknown physical conditions of their dogs, which may lead to their dogs suffering more pain or even death.
