Mastiff Dog Health Concerns

The Mastiff is prone to the following major health conditions:

Gastric Torsion - Gastric Torsion is a medical condition in which the stomach becomes overstretched by excessive gas content. It is also commonly referred to as bloat, gastric torsion, and gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) when the stomach is also twisted.

Canine Hip Dysplasia - Hip dysplasia is an abnormal formation of the hip socket that, in its more severe form, can eventually cause crippling lameness and painful arthritis of the joints. It is a polygenic trait, that is affected by environmental factors in the production of the final phenotype. It can be found in many animals and occasionally in humans, but is most commonly associated with dogs, and is common in many dog breeds, particularly the larger breeds.

The Mastiff is prone to the following minor health conditions:

Elbow Dysplasia - Elbow dysplasia is a condition involving multiple developmental abnormalities of the elbow-joint in the dog, specifically the growth of cartilage or the structures surrounding it. These abnormalities, known as 'primary lesions', give rise to osteoarthritic processes.

Osteosarcoma - Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone cancer. Osteosarcoma is common in large breed dogs.

Cystinuria - Cystinuria is an inherited autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that is characterized by the formation of cystine stones in the kidneys, ureter, and bladder.

The Mastiff occasionally has problems with the following health conditions:

Cardiomyopathy - Cardiomyopathy, which literally means "heart muscle disease," is the deterioration of the function of the myocardium or heart muscle.

Allergies - Allergies are the hypersensitivity reaction to a particular allergen; symptoms can vary greatly in intensity.

Vaginal Hyperplasia - Vaginal Hyperplasia is when the vaginal tissue becomes overly enlarged, especially with estrogen stimulation.

Cruciate Ligament Rupture - The ruptured cruciate ligament is the most common knee injury of the dog; in fact, chances are that any dog with a sudden rear leg lameness.

Osteochondritis Dissecans - Osteochondritis Dissecans is a joint disorder in which cracks form in the articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone. Osteochondritis Dissecans usually causes pain and swelling of the affected joint which catches and locks during movement. Entropion - Entropion is the inversion of the eyelids, so that they roll inward, often irritating the eye.

Progressive Retinal Atrophy - Progressive Retinal Atrophy is a group of genetic diseases seen in certain breeds of dogs and, more rarely, cats. It is characterized by the bilateral degeneration of the retina, causing progressive vision loss culminating in blindness. The condition in nearly all breeds is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, with the exception of the Siberian Husky and the Bullmastiff. There is no treatment.

Persistent Pupillary Membrane - Persistent Pupillary Membrane is a condition of the eye involving remnants of a fetal membrane that persist as strands of tissue crossing the pupil. The pupillary membrane in mammals exists in the fetus as a source of blood supply for the lens. It normally atrophies from the time of birth to the age of four to eight weeks.
