I have a King Charles Spaniel. Mine is very healthy. However, they are prone to many diseases:
- heart -- Heart Mitral Valve Disease (main cause of CKCS deaths)
- brain and spinal cord -- Syringomyelia
- hips -- Hip dysplasia
- blood platelets -- Low Blood Platelet Counts
- breathing -- Brachycephalic Airway Obstruction Syndrome
***MOST OF THESE ARE NOT VERY COMMON.
The one you need to look out for is the Heart Mitral Valve Disease, to avoid your CKCS's death at an early age from this disease, make sure you get him/her from a good breeder. Make sure your CKCS's parents did not get this disease and your CKCS should live a long heathy life. Most live to about 13-15 years.
