CHERRY EYE

Frequent phenomenon at mastino, šhar-pei,... operation is simple. At mastino usually appears between growing. This is also genetic disposition,that we could restrict it with strict breeding selection.

DEMODEX explanation and manners of treatment

In local shape acour around lips and of hanging skin around to neck. Construction of small pimples is occurring, flushes of skin and turning out of hair. Some are talk, that this is disease of dirty kennels, however this isn't valid. This is small worm ( cca 0,25 mm ). disease appears in instance of bad immune system at teenagers dogs and older dogs oftenest. He is downloading solely with direct contact by infected mother on cubs in first week of age. Cubs with enough strong immune system are immune per infection. If  to only you comes to, condition must monitor and to treat for. Treatment in local shape is consistent successfully usually. It is possible to make disease impossible with supervisedbreeding combinations.

DISPLASY ( HD )

Frequent phenomenon at heavy breeds, that they are gaining growings too quickly on mass and height in phase of development. Inclination to displasy is hereditary ( cca 30% ), that is why is advisably to choose cub from breeding combinations with small degree displasy. On gained displasy ( cca 70% ) % influence factors of environment; incorrect diet, too large physical loads. First critically period for development gained displasy feels like of other month of age cub, other to sixth of month of age. Development gained displasy can ease or whole make impossible with correct nursing young dog. Gain of breed permission in Slovenia requires also painting of hips. Breed permission gain males/females, that have HD A/A = without sign displasy, HD B/B and still allowed to degree displasy for breeding HD C/C.

CARDIOMIOPATHY ( heart disease )

Heart disease are frequent at dogs, at older dogs occurs as consequence inanitions of heart and of heart valves, at younger  above all as consequence of inborn heart mistakes.

Dr. Giuseppe Tranchese in own article concerning diletative cardiomiopathy at mastino between other also writes down: » Discovered debate concerning inborn mistakes is not not even sign of disadvantage not even negative advertisement for breeders, just action of intelligence, cultures and loves to breed. We may keep in mind, that it was made mighty guard, it is becoming more and more dependent because of selflessness and mental limitation individuals of veterinary help lately. Debate concerning problems will serve so veterinary corner and breeders, above all for it: for MASTINO NAPOLETANO.«

Cardiomiopathies are more types, most frequent are Diletative and Hipertrofic. Symptoms, causes for them and possibilities of treatment are comparable with heart conditions at people. None is curable, can next to timely discovery of disease and to treatment, we prolong lifespan of dog. Diseases are recommendable regular protective examinations for timely discovery. Veterinary listens to heart and he measures out heartbeat. Abnormal creature can trace hearts or noise on heart.Examination is from ultrasonic diagnostics, of x-ray painting of heart and EKG. Also blood tests are recommendable, that they can remit problems with metabolism, choice of correct and successful treatment is dependent also of this.

Diletative cardiomiopathy: Almost solely occurs at dogs of certain breeds, that is why they are supposing, that hereditary factor has important submission at creation of disease. Other causes of creation of disease are can unknown, consequence of incorrect diet or consequence of got over viral infekta in the past. shape of kardiomiopatije at dogs is most frequent, above all at large and largest breeds of dogs. Alongside napoletano are for her very responsive Dobermanns, Newfoundlands, Great Danes and Irish wolf greyhounds. Younger dogs and dogs in middle life period are falling ill. Visual sign of disease are toni, water hot-air balloon, that he appears under costal part. At already disease appear still too quick tiredness, disturbances in breathing, hacking cough, worse running and consecutively loss of mass.

Hipertrofic cardiomiopathy: is above all genetic disposition, can also unexplained origin cause. Visual sign is above all disease's disturbances of nervous system and next to larger physical efforts of disturbance of awareness.

Dogs with confirmed cardiomiopathy let not used for breeding, at all not females, because likelihood is large, that cubs from such combination won't live to see age more than 4 years. Unfortunately  unique testing, on instance before first mating, they don't mean, that we turned off hereditary factor of disease. Disease appears several times afterward, in middle life period of dog. That is why is for now only partial »protection«, that we are using dogs from verified combinations of ancestors for breeding, that they lived to see high age. For breeders recommends protective examinations of cubs in age four and eight months, at the same time  recommends for all breeding stock regular protective examinations.

Passion to Naples mastiff may not to be only wish round repairing of visual mistakes, but care for healthy, longlife dog, even though on bill of exclusion from breeding completely visually typical specimens of breed. We can expect isolation of gene in future on field of genetic researches, responsible for hereditary cardiomiopathy, which will be conscientious breeders to large help's at choice breeding bases, and for future owner  satisfaction at longlife, playful dog.
