Entropion | Irish Setter Health
http://irishsetterhealth.info/content/entropion
Mon, 12/28/2009 - 12:48 by meg. Symptoms: Continual watering of the eyes. Eyes looking red. Affected dog may often rub its eye against furniture or your leg. You may also see for yourself that the lid is turning inwards. Action: Consult your vet as it may require surgery. Also tell your breeder, as affected dogs should not be used for breeding and, ideally, neither should their parents. Your vet should also notify the Kennel Club that they have performed a cosmetic procedure to correct the defect.

The Immune System and Autoimmune Disorders | Irish Setter Health
http://www.irishsetterhealth.info/content/immune-system-and-autoimmune-disorders
Thu, 05/20/2010 - 11:51 by meg. To understand auto immune diseases it helps to have a basic understanding of the immune system itself. The immune system is the protective mechanism for the body and is highly complicated. There are basically two parts to it. The first is the purely physical, being the barriers such as the skin or mucous membranes or the chemical, such as the acids in the stomach which destroy bacteria. Click on the following link for a more detailed description of the immune system. It is...

Lungworm or French Heart Worm. | Irish Setter Health
http://irishsetterhealth.info/content/lungworm-or-french-heart-worm
Fri, 05/21/2010 - 16:52 by meg. Dogs that are at risk of this parasitic worm are those that either eat slugs or snails deliberately, or eat grass and accidentally ingest small slugs and snails. Younger dogs seem to be more likely to get infected but it is not unknown for older dogs to suffer. Vets may advise lungworm treatment as part of your dog’s health regime because if it is not treated it can lead to death. If you have one dog that is affected it is sensible to treat all your dogs.

DNA Testing and Autosomal Recessive Genes | Irish Setter Health
http://irishsetterhealth.info/content/dna-testing-and-autosomal-recessive-genes
Mon, 08/22/2011 - 20:52 by meg. Certain inherited conditions are caused by autosomal recessive genes that are faulty and this means that puppies need to inherit one copy of the faulty gene from each parent to develop the condition; both dog and bitch puppies can be affected. Each DNA test is specific to a particular mutation and will not establish whether or not a puppy will develop another condition. By establishing the genetic status of a dog and bitch before mating it is possible to predict the probab...

Health Review 2014 | Irish Setter Health
http://irishsetterhealth.info/content/health-review-2014
Tue, 01/20/2015 - 11:48 by meg. The Joint Health Group has submitted a proposal to the KC to introduce a health control scheme for rcd4 and we are hopeful this will be in place in 2015 with a timescale to allow breeders time to test their stock before mating if necessary. It will be imperative that the status of puppies is clearly identified before they can be registered. Professor Ed Hall, our Breed Health Co-ordinator is in conversation with AHT about the survey. The fact that there have been no report...

Laryngeal Paralysis | Irish Setter Health
http://irishsetterhealth.info/content/laryngeal-paralysis
Mon, 12/28/2009 - 13:34 by meg. The condition consists of a degeneration of the nerves, which stimulate the muscles of the voice box (larynx). Paralysis of the larynx is quite common in elderly dogs, especially males, and although the Labrador, Irish Setter and Afghan Hound seem to be particularly susceptible, practically any breed in the middle weight range could be involved. A moist retching cough. Episodes of extreme breathing difficulty, especially when exercising in hot weather. Although an immediat...

Tue, 07/23/2013 - 18:18 by meg. And the Animal Health Trust. Are undertaking a project aimed at streamlining the way in which we screen DNA from dogs for mutations that cause inherited diseases and also the way in which we identify individual dogs, using their DNA. We need to know that the SNP markers we select can be used to successfully distinguish individual dogs of all breeds, and for this purpose a reference panel of DNA samples. Will be used to validate the SNPs selected during the project. The aim...
