Health concerns are present in all breeds, but some are breed specific.
Boston Terriers are particularly known to have the risk of developing:
- cataracts
- luxating patellas (knee dislocation)
- deafness (mostly in old age)
- heart murmur (not common but possible)
- Mastocytoma (cancerous tumours. All living animals are prone to cancer)
- Curvature of the back, resulting in rear leg problems (usually operable by a vet)
Due to their short snout, like all short-snouted dogs, Boston Terriers cannot tolerate excessive heat nor excessive cold. So they need to be kept cool in warm months with cold water always available to them, and kept warm in cold months.
And, again like all short-snouted dogs, the Boston Terrier can get blocked sinuses, leading to excessive tear discharge, which is treatable with droplet medication.
More information on the breed can be found here (click).
