Respiratory And Eye Problems
April 152010
Although small dog breeds usually have a longer lifespan than larger dogs due to less stress on their bone structure, that life span may not be healthy. Some of the common Boston Terrier health problems that your dog may face are respiratory and eye problems. Both these problems are down to the physical build of the dogs. The respiratory problems result from the shortened muzzles of the Boston Terrier. The protruding eyes of the Boston Terrier can also result in problems. Part of Boston Terrier care means using the right types of collars and checking the eyes regularly for grass seeds. Boston Terriers are also sensitive to extreme temperatures; your Boston Terrier does not like extremely hot or cold weather.
