Morkie

Morkies are small but generally healthy. However, they can inherit conditions from either parent breed. Here is a list of few common conditions found in Morkies-

1. Tracheal Collapse: One symptom is a goose-honk cough. Apply a harness rather than using a collar to exert less pressure on the throat.
2. Dental Disease: Small mouths and overcrowded teeth result in plaque and infections. It can be prevented by routinely brushing and using dental chews.
3. Patellar Luxation: Dislocating kneecap leading to limping or lameness. Maintaining a healthy weight in dogs can help eliminate the impact on joints.
4. Hypoglycemia: Particularly in puppies; look out for trembling or tiredness. Provide small, frequent meals to assist with the maintenance of blood sugar.
