Rottweiler Common Health Problems
A genetic condition where the thigh bone doesn’t fit into the hip socket correctly, leading to lameness, pain and arthritis. Treatment typically involves surgery to correct the defect. Responsible breeding can help reduce the incidence of Hip Dysplasia.
Like Hip Dysplasia, this condition can affect the elbow joint of the Rottweiler, leading to pain, lameness and arthritis. Treatment can include weight management surgery and medication, depending on the severity of the condition.
Rottweilers are a particular breed more predisposed to the onset of osteosarcoma, a malignant type of bone tumour. This condition is most often seen in older dogs. Treatment can involve amputation alongside chemotherapy.
Some Rottweilers may be prone to certain heart conditions, including aortic stenosis, commonly found in larger breeds. Depending on the condition, many heart conditions are treated with lifelong medication and veterinary monitoring.
A common condition affecting many breeds, including the Rottweiler, that is caused by an underactive thyroid gland, which can lead to weight gain, lethargy, and skin problems. Treatment typically involves medication to correct the hormone.
