Autoimmune diseases, where a dog's defective immune system attacks its own body, are extremely common in German Shepherds. Often the skin is the target of the defective immune system. Autoimmune skin diseases include perianal fistula, sebaceous adenitis, lupus, pemphigus, nail bed disease, and vitiligo. When the defective immune system targets other organs, the resulting diseases include degenerative spinal myelopathy, megaesophagus, and myasthenia gravis.

More seasoned mutts with a condition called Laryngeal Loss of motion are more in danger for overheating and even perilous breakdown. Mutts depend on gasping for thermoregulation and the air going through a wide open larynx can chill a pooch off rapidly. With Laryngeal Loss of motion, a pooch's larynx can't completely open, and the thermoregulation limit is confined. These puppies frequently have more intense breathing commotions. This condition is likewise called "Roarer's Disorder." Keep these canines out of sweltering climate. Their life may rely upon it.

At the point when a pet is overheated, wipe or pour cool water on his guts, armpits (inguinal and axillary regions) and feet, just as offering the water to drink. Never use liquor to cool the skin or feet. This not recommended technique can cause danger through assimilation of the liquor through the widened vessels of the hot skin. Any canine that breakdown or hints at extreme overheating ought to be taken quickly to a veterinarian or ER. Intravenous or subcutaneous liquids and therapeutic medications could be life-sparing.

Try not to walk hounds on hot blacktop or asphalt. Mutts don't hint at agony from consumed feet until it's past the point of no return. Rankles, ulcers, and even genuine consumes are as of now present when begin to limp or some of the time even tumble down. Rankled feet ought to be taken care of by a veterinarian. Mitigating them with cool water is the initial step. Wraps on feet ought to be changed consistently to evade disease.

Evaluate the climate and calculated conditions before you bring an in danger hound out in the warmth—particularly to a procession or road party in a city. Indeed, even with shade, a lot of water, swimming regions, and some cool earth, a hot day can at present be a lot for some pets. Utilize good judgment.


Try not to encourage your pet inside a hour of activity in the warmth—either previously or after. This will lessen the danger of swell or other gastrointestinal issues.

Dark or dim shaded puppies can wind up overheated as they ingest a greater amount of the sun's beams than a light-hued hound. Keep dark canines in the shade on hot days. Think about pet sunscreen for white or pale canines or pooches with shaved regions or no hide assurance on the off chance that they must be in the sun for broadened timeframes. They are defenseless against sunburn, as well.

Keep in mind: Your pets rely on you to keep a composed mind and make great decisions about their sweltering climate exercises.

Why my dog is panting ,Tips for Keeping Your Dog Cool in Hot Weather.

Posted by casablancamar On 0 comments


Sweating is an effective way to release excess heat. It produces our body constantly. The tolerable 37 degrees Celsius would be exceeded quickly, we would not have an extensive cooling system.
It consists of millions of sweat glands distributed on the skin. You but a salty liquid. When the liquid evaporates, water molecules leave the surface and take energy with them: the body cools down. By sweating it protects against overheating. Footballers can lose more than two liters of sweat, marathoners four to five. During the break or during the run, they try to compensate for the loss by drinking.
Dogs have almost no sweat glands. They moisturize only a few sweat glands under their paws, and with them release fragrances that tell their conspecifics: "I've been running here for a long time."

Nevertheless, they also cool their body by the evaporation of water. This is not the entire skin surface, but only the mouth. They let their long tongue hang out and begin to pant, with their mucous membranes giving off moisture down to the trachea and lungs. The respiratory rate increases strongly: from 30 to 60 moves per minute up to 300 moves. So humidity and heat can be removed again and again.





The same applies to dogs: the tall and fat sweat more. A Saint Bernard slobber constantly, his fat pad leaves little heat out. He actually belongs in the mountains. Especially for such dogs it can get too hot in summer. On humid days, high humidity prevents good evaporation. When driving, there are always fatalities when the dog is left alone in the parked car for too long.

"The dog does not only holler to thermoregulation, but also in case of excitement and stress," says Franziska Kuhne of the Institute for Animal Welfare and Animal Behavior of the Free University of Berlin. The panting is widespread in the animal kingdom. Even birds do not sweat and breathe with open mouth in heat.

Here are 10 straightforward yet critical things you can do to keep your pet cool.

NEVER leave a pooch in a vehicle on a warm day. Notice I didn't state "a hot day." The sun can warm a vehicle to more than 110 degrees on a 75 degree day in a matter of moments. Indeed, even with the windows moved down. Your pet's life is never worth the accommodation of abandoning them in the vehicle for even a couple of minutes. It might feel cool in the driver's seat, yet the temperature in the back of any vehicle can turn out to be hazardously hot when you lock the entryways.

Know your puppy. Numerous mutts are at high hazard for warmth weariness. These incorporate brachycephalic canines (smush-confronted breeds like pugs and bulldogs), greyhounds, thick-furred dark pooches, and so on. Take additional consideration with overweight canines, youthful young doggies, and more established pets all things considered. They will be unable to manage their body temperatures well in the warmth. Stay away from noontime exercises and breaking point their time in the hot sun and warmth.

Pre-hydrate and bring a lot of water. Offer a creature a lot of water previously, amid and after any warmth introduction. A pooch will drink more water in the event that you make it scrumptious. Mix in a little chicken soup, a spoonful of meat child nourishment or a treat, and they may drink more water. There is an admonition to water drinking—don't give them a chance to drink a lot without a moment's delay or you may discover they upchuck the water.

Indications of overheating may go unnoticed or overlooked in pets. Search for indications of overheating before they end up genuine wellbeing dangers:
— Gasping
— Dim pink to red tongue lolling out of mouth
— Dry, shabby mouth and bodily fluid films
— Endeavoring to rests
— Lifting feet to maintain a strategic distance from hot asphalt
— Weakness, bumbling
— Backing off and delaying the rope
— Retching

These are on the whole signs that a canine is excessively hot... Read more

German Shepherd Food and Nutrition

Posted by العالم الان On Sunday, November 27, 2016 1 comments
 

Today, consumers have an unlimited number of choices when it comes to German shepherd food and nutrition. The days of feeding puppies a generic puppy food and adult dogs a basic, one-flavor-satisfies-all dog food are nightmares of the past. Grocery aisles, pet supply stores, and internet retailers all promote their own special brands. When a shepherd thrives on a well balanced nutritional German shepherd food, his skin is soft and supple, his coat is thick and full, his ribs are covered, and his energy is boundless.


Commercial Foods

Research by commercial pet food producers has led to increased general public knowledge about canine nutritional needs and how to help a dog thrive rather than just survive. As you might suspect; unfortunately, not all commercial dog foods are a quality product.

At the high end of the spectrum are foods made with highly nutritional, human-grade ingredients that are specialized to meet a dog's particular needs. At the low end are those foods that are made with poor sources of protein, lots of filler, and nearly indigestible minerals and vitamins.









German shepherd food labels can be difficult to decipher, but there are several key points to look for when trying to make sense of what is in a bag, package, or can. Read the ingredients list and recognize key words that indicate the quality and quantity of the ingredients. You should also recognize the specific life stage and type of dog for which the food was developed and understand how foods are tested and trialed to meet nutrient profiles.
Human-grade chicken, beef, lamb, and other meats are lower in steroids than meats approved for livestock or pet consumption. For example, chickens intended for human consumption must be fed an alternative to feed a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks before slaughter to ensure that growth hormones and steroids are at acceptable levels in the meat.

The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) is an association of state and federal feed officials that serves to assist in promoting standard feed regulations throughout the United States with recommended nutritional minimums for dog foods. The organization also develops methods by which food companies can test their products to prove they have met the AAFC0's nutritional profiles.

The most common health problems in German Shepherds

Posted by العالم الان On 0 comments
  Let's look at orthopedic diseases first. German Shepherds suffer from high rates of hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia. The Orthopedic Foundation of America evaluated the hip X-rays of over 86,000 German Shepherds and found 19% dysplastic. That's bad, and the true rate is even higher because most of the obviously bad X-rays were not sent in for official evaluation. Similarly, over 23,000 elbow X-rays were evaluated, nearly 20% were dysplastic (the 8th worst rate of 82 breeds) and again, the true rate is even higher.

Panosteitis is another common orthopedic health problem in German Shepherds. Osteochondritis and cruciate ligament rupture occur regularly. Wobbler's syndrome and hypertrophic osteodystrophy have been reported.

Let's look at skin problems next – they're rampant in this breed, especially allergies (which cause itchy skin) and pyoderma (folliculitis and furunculosis), but also seborrhea, demodectic mange, lick granuloma, and occasionally calcinosis.

Autoimmune diseases, where a dog's defective immune system attacks its own body, are extremely common in German Shepherds.

    Often the skin is the target of the defective immune system. Autoimmune skin diseases include perianal fistula, sebaceous adenitis, lupus, pemphigus, nail bed disease, and vitiligo.
    When the defective immune system targets other organs, the resulting diseases include degenerative spinal myelopathy, megaesophagus, and myasthenia gravis.

German Shepherds are notorious for digestive problems, especially chronic diarrhea caused by food intolerances, colitis (inflammatory bowel disease), hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, or pancreatic insufficiency. This breed should be eating real food for sure, not an artificial diet of kibble or canned food.

As with all deep-chested breeds, German Shepherds are at higher-than-normal risk for the emergency gastrointestinal syndrome bloat.

Just about every form of heart disease occurs in German Shepherds: sub-aortic stenosis, pulmonic stenosis, cardiomyopathy, mitral valve disease, and patent ductus arteriosus.
Serious eye diseases in the breed include pannus (which is yet another autoimmune disease) and cataracts (which can cause blindness in Shepherd puppies). Other eye diseases include cherry eye, corneal dystrophy, retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and occasionally progressive retinal atrophy (PRA).

Many German Shepherds are lost to cancer, the most common of which are hemangiosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and lymphosarcoma.

Epilepsy is one of the most recent concerns in the breed.

Blood-clotting diseases include von Willebrand's disease, hemophilia A, and the more severe hemophilia B.

Hormonal/endocrine system diseases include hypothyroidism, Cushing's disease, and diabetes. According to the Michigan State University Thyroid Database, up to 12% of German Shepherds have low thyroid levels.

Truly a breed with serious health problems....which makes me sad, because a German Shepherd was the first breed I ever owned, and I love them.
