Many fear that pugs, shi-tzu, Beijes and some other dogs are so sensitive that loud cotton with the door or the sound of exploding firecrackers can lead to the fact that their eyes will fall out of fear. We decided to check if this is really so.
ABOUT possibilities And the reasons falling out Eye in dogs They ask on specialized Portals, sites veterinary clinic, write in Blogs and social networks. Usually users are usually interested in eye loss in Pugs, Beijesov, Shi-Tzu And Chihuahua. Resources O dogs write that the eyes of the house Pyathers can fall out from Fear or fright, such stories are also popular with bloggers. In Russian TV series The “real boys” had an eye of stress left for the care of a friend of Shi-Tzu. In 2019 British toldthat her dog is so Frightened Sounds of fireworks from the street that both her eyes fell out And the pet blind.
Pugs along with Shi-Tzu and Pekinges belong to brachycephalical breeds (from other Greek. βραχύς-“short” and ϰεφαλή-“head”). In addition to them in this group Included English and French bulldogs, bull mastphs, griffons, boston terriers, boxers and Lhas Apso. In addition to dogs brachycephals can be cats: Persians, Burma, exotics, British, Scots and Himalayans. Moreover, this one term Maybe Applied And to a person for Descriptions Anomalies of the structure of the skull, in which it is reduced in the front -line direction.
Brahicepephalic breeds have a number of characteristic pathologies. Firstly, due to the features of the structure of the muzzle, their respiratory tract Briefly speakingthan animals with a more elongated skull. It can also complicate the normal air flow in a particularly arranged nostrils and a characteristic lengthening of a soft palate. Therefore, brachycephalic animals can have noisy, sniffing breathing and snoring. Hot weather, increased physical activity or obesity more dangerous For such animals than for their long -moraine brothers.
The shortened skull affects not only the structure of the respiratory tract, but also the organs of vision. Such breeds are characterized by pache -eyedness - their eyeball protrudes from the eye socket much more than animals without brachycephalus. Most often due to injuries (but possibly with some diseases), the eyes are literally "Squeezed"The forward that the eyelids are behind the equator (the widest part) of the eyeball, where they are collected in a fold. This situation is extremely dangerous - the eyelids swell and cannot open again so that the eyeball returns to its place. In a scientific way, such a pathology is called the alpine of the eye and looks extremely frightening, so we will not post photos in the text (those who wish can see how it looks in dogs of brachycephalic rocks and breeds with a different structure of the skull on hyperlinks: Chihuahua, pug, Pekingese or Aussi, Dalmatian).
The owner of the animal cannot independently solve this problem, instead Recommended Rinse or irrigate your eyes with a saline, cover with a cloth soaked in saline (but not put pressure on the eyeball), put a protective collar on the pet (or not let him damage himself even more) and immediately go to the veterinary clinic. Doctors Immerse The pet in the drug sleep and set the eyeball in place, usually cutting, and then sewing the eyelids with each other. In the case of timely assistance two to three weeks after the operation, the seams are removed, and the eye acquires an previous look. In about a quarter of cases, no complications occur in dogs, and vision is fully returned, the prognosis for cats is less favorable. After prophetosis in animals can arise Cornflower ulcers, develop strabismus, conjunctivitis, glaucoma and even complete blindness. The lack of timely and competent assistance can also bring To the need for enucleation - surgical removal of the eyeball.
At the same time, brachycephalus in itself is not a cause of proplication, but only a predisposing factor. The loss of the eyeball can occur due to various injuries, for example, falling from a height. However, brachycephalical breeds are so predisposed to proplication that pathology can bring even incorrect A selected collar and leash (therefore it is recommended to walk them with a harness) or lifting the dog by the skin in the neck and blades. At the same time authoritative Veterinary publications And reference books among reasons Proptosis I do not listThere is neither fright nor stress. IN Descriptions cases treatment There is also not a single prophetosis in which the dog’s eyes would fall due to fear, usually the cause of such an injury- hit under car or fight With another animals.
In addition to prophetosis and breathing problems, brachycephalic rocks Drive To cardiovascular diseases, problems With jointsas well as to dental pathologies. Some Veterinarians And Zoojeters It is believed that breeding and popularization of brachycephalic rocks is Application Inadequate suffering to the animals themselves, and call the governments to begin to prohibit the use of their representatives for advertising purposes in order to reduce the demand for such pets. More radical activists Tarly For a complete ban on breeding such breeds. Such an initiative, in particular, now considered In the Netherlands: there they discuss the introduction of a ban on the import and breeding of some brachycephalic breeds of dogs and flowering cats, their use in advertising and even a demonstration on social networks. However, officials understand the difficulty of introducing such rules - for example, a ban on the publication of photographs of a beloved French bulldog or a Scottish Vyslowean cat in the owner’s personal blog does not really combine with freedom of information.
Thus, both dogs and cats can really fall out of both dogs and cats. Increase injuries more often, but an inaccurate handling of a pet can also be the reason, for example, too strong a leasue tension on a walk. But severe fright, fear or stress can not be the cause of the eyes of the eye. In the case of prophetosis of the eye, namely, this phenomenon is called in the scientific, it is necessary to ensure the moisturizing of the eye-tribute apple and immediately consult a veterinarian. If the help of the animal is provided in time and in full, the eyes and vision can be preserved.
