Prevention
has always been the best policy for some health problems with the Bichon Frise.
Careful breeding and genetic testing can diminish the odds for some inherited
diseases. But unfortunately there are some health concerns that can’t be prevented.
Having information on the history of the parents and dogs out of the same breeding
will also give you an idea of the health history. Bichons are subject to other
health issues just like other dogs. Cancer, hip problems, heart defects, old age
are some possible health problems for the Bichon Frise. The breed can also be
susceptible to eye, skin and ear problems, epilepsy and dislocated kneecaps.
They
can be very sensitive to flea bites. Special skin care for your Bichon Frise is
necessary, as break outs and rashes may occur. Certain skin difficulties can vary
from poor coat maintenance, itching and biting, to extra sensitive areas known
as hot spots. Ear infections and runny noses can be due to pet allergies.

There are substances that can cause an allergic reaction
in dogs. These allergens are much the same as those which cause reactions in people,
including pollens, dust mites and molds. Diagnosing these allergies can take time,
and is done by process of elimination. There could very well be a mold problem
in your home that your Bichon is more sensitive to. Seasonal villains such as
pollen can inflict the same health problems on the Bichon Frise as humans. Food
allergies can be another factor, which may cause your pet to vomit.
If
you suspect allergies as the mastermind behind your Bichon Frise’s health problems,
make an appointment to see your pet’s veterinarian; you can thoroughly discuss
your concerns, as well as what treatments are available. Health insurance for
pets is now offered through certain companies. Although routine visits and shots
are not covered, this can still be a good investment for anyone who is buying,
or already purchased a puppy.
Jergens may very well be the solution to
all the scratching and biting. Sometimes, just like people, dogs can be ailed
by good old fashioned dry skin. Take special care of your Bichon Frise’s needs
when it comes to their skin. Your best source of information regarding your pet
is going to be the breeder you purchased from. They can offer many options for
aiding your Bichon in finding relief.
