Siberian Husky is a dog that has the least health problems than other breeds, although there is no breed of the dog that is completely free of genetic defects who inherited. However, there are health issues that husky you should know.
Siberian Husky Club in America or the SHCA has kept watching on possible genetic problems and take positive action for public health and welfare of the breed. Since 1965, this organization has been tasked with realizing the problem and the breeder genetic defect alert before it can spread. Because the two greatest areas of concern SHCA has been found that the Siberian Husky is a dog's hip dysplasia and inherited eye diseases. However, with proper care and monitoring, you can try to avoid the condition of your dog and help them to live long.
A condition in which the head of the femur or hip joint does not fit into the socket hip joint is called dysplasia. When puppies are born this condition is not normally present, most of the time it just evolved within the first two years of dog life. Hips are affected will hurt from inflammation, pain and arthritis as the condition lasts. Weight training such as sit, lie down or climbing stairs can make the condition worse. Men and women are equally affected by the hips and either single or both may be affected. This is a health condition that is inherited, which means that hip dysplasia is derived from the parent dogs.
Siberian Husky dog breed is one of the most infected despite the high occurrence of hip dysplasia in dogs. This condition concerns about 114 breeds of dogs, and Siberian Huskies are ranked one hundred and eleven for the risk. This requirement can be easily avoided in the breed by buying from a breeder who can provide the indication that both parents have passed the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals standard for the breed.
There are defects that affect the dog's eyes, but only three of them are considered a concern in some Siberian health problems today. Hereditary or juvenile cataracts, corneal dystrophy and progressive retinal atrophy are a condition of the eyes of three of the Siberian Husky that you should be aware of. Any eye color can have eyed conditions, and disorders affect each different portion of the eye. Although eye problems are not common in the Siberian Husky, they are serious and should not be overlooked or underestimated. Siberian Husky can develop hereditary cataracts or teenagers as early as age three months.

Hiccups in Siberian Huskies
Dogs normally have a hiccup because they eat or drink too fast. When your dog eating too fast, your dog also swallows air, which causes the hiccups. Hiccup sometimes is a reaction caused by the foods that irritate the stomach dog. If your dog often had the hiccups after eating, you may want to change their diet or changing your dog's food to see, because it is clear from these hiccup's dogs.
As in humans, dogs also suffered the hiccup when the muscles that control the diaphragm accidentally contracts. If your dog is experiencing a mild hiccup (in the short term), then you do not need to worry. In fact, hiccups can be an advantage for dogs, for dog hiccups helps to release the gas inside their stomachs. Hiccups sometimes also help your dog dry in their stomach irritation and help your dog to repair the damage that occurs coordination between the muscles that control the diaphragm. Hiccups are more common in puppies, and usually as you get older dog, hiccups will disappear. Your dog may experience many kinds of hiccups, hiccups that fast, between one hiccup with other hiccups or hiccups that slow between one another hiccup there with a long pause.
Emotion is another cause that can cause hiccups in dogs. Stress and fatigue can make your dog had the hiccups, so if your dog is too excited. However, the excitement usually causes hiccups are inverted, which is often mistaken with hiccups generally. The reverse hiccup occurs when your dog is taking a breather with no deliberate through the nose. You usually realize a reverse hiccup is when your dog is trying to clear mucus from nasal passages (as if the dog is trying to sniff them). If your dog often had the hiccups, or hiccups were settled, it can indicate more serious problems, like asthma, pneumonia, pericarditis, stroke or hypothermia. It is important to visit the vet if it is acute hiccups.
