Dog diseases are just as serious as human diseases. They may be a little more problematic because they can’t tell you where it hurts. They can’t tell us when something has changed, just as they can’t tell us when they feel an improvement.
Dogs are at risk of most cancers and degenerative diseases in the same way as humans, whereas most of their infectious diseases are species-specific. As with other domestic animals, dogs are at risk from a number of infectious and genetic diseases, but most of these can be prevented by screening, vaccination and proper husbandry.
The earliest signs of deterioration in a dog’s health can be seen in its behaviour. They look depressed and withdrawn and move less than usual. His appetite may also change, sometimes improving and sometimes deteriorating. Generally speaking, a dog that is active, lively, interested, dehydrated, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating normally, free of lumps and hair loss, and of normal body condition is probably healthy, but if the symptom appears, a medical examination should be carried out immediately, and every six months if there are no symptoms.
