Dr Sam Kovac answers FAQs about the Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
- Mitral valve disease
- Syringomyelia
- Skin allergies
- Gastrointestinal issues
"The most frightening condition Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS) can suffer from is mitral valve disease. It is a genetic disorder that CKCS can develop through their life. It leads to a faulty valve in the heart that regulates the direction of the dog's blood flow. Once diagnosed, the lifespan of the dog is typically 2 years. CKCS can also be prone to skin allergies and gastrointestinal issues, as well as a neurological disorder called syringomyelia. Syringomyelia is a genetic disorder in those with particularly rounded and small skulls so the brain doesn't fit in normally. This can lead to 'phantom itching', seizures and immense neck pain. Medications can slow the disease, but there is no cure. A lucky few can live normal, full lives with the right medication plan."
"All of these health issues are manageable if you find a veterinarian with the experience and familiar knowledge of unique CKCS conditions."
Dr Sam Kovac, a Sydney-based general practice vet, believes in extending the lifespan of animals through ground-breaking treatments. He founded Southern Cross Vet, with clinics in St Peters, Bellevue Hill and Surry Hills.
