Everyone is at risk for getting cavities throughout life. By the time most people are adults, 85 percent of people will have had a cavity! You naturally have bacteria (germs) in your mouth. The bacteria mix with your saliva and bits of food in your mouth to form a coating (dental plaque) that sticks to your teeth. There are acids in the plaque that wear away the teeth. These acids can get inside the teeth and create holes in the teeth, or cavities.

Over and over and over I see people who are coping with fatigue - tired, tired, tired, and sugar handling problems. It is surprising how fatigue can be so nutritionally based and how overuse of sugars and certain carbohydrates can compound the problem. Another common problem that applies to spiritually oriented people is an over emphasis on emotional clearing instead of a practical focus on nutritional and chemical imbalances which can greatly effect energy and well being.

Bloat, Canine Hip Dysplasia, Heat, Skin Disorders (allergies). The best way to avoid the majority of these problems is to make preventative vet visits regularly, feed a good diet (Royal Canin Natural, Holistic) with lots of fresh water , and give your pet plenty of exercise.

Other common visit diagnoses included skin problems, anemia, acute injuries, infections, and genitourinary or gastrointestinal problems.

The most common is Hip Dysplasia. We check hips of all our dogs and we breed only ones that do not have Hip Dysplasia. Most of our dogs have hips certified with PennHIP and a few with OFA. We are also started testing for Elbow Dysplasia as well. The Cherry Eye occurs relatively often as it common for all Mastiff breeds. It can be corrected with a simple surgery. The Bloat is another health concern.

According to the World Health Organization, approximately 30% of all commercial buildings have significant IAQ problems. Similar estimates have been made by others. I am unaware of any similar estimates in regards to residences.

Video monitor problems are usually caused by mis-matches of the monitor and the chosen monitor profile. They are usually characterized by no video on the monitor (this could also be due to the system hanging) or un-synchronized video. If no monitor profile is available for your monitor you may need to choose a generic monitor profile. Before doing this, make sure you know what the maximum horizontal and vertical frequencies of your monitor are.

Unlike other large dogs, they do not have hip dysplasia or other congenital diseases. Many are very sensitive to medications and other chemicals. Flea collars and other long-lasting chemical products should be avoided. Like many dogs, they may have been exposed to tick borne diseases; tick testing is encouraged and should be discussed with your veterinarian. Greyhounds are prone to hypothyroidism and cancer, unfortunately -- however, no more than any other breed.

Limb Loss is more often the result of, rather than the cause of other health problems. Since the loss of a limb can result in decreased activity, the risk of health problems associated with a sedentary lifestyle may be increased. Residual limb and phantom pain, as well as skin problems associated with prosthesis use are also common.

We do not treat physical symptoms or cure diseases. What we can do is defuse the fear and stress involved in your health issues. Remember, stress drains us of vital energy, thereby interfering with the body's immune system, as will as, the ability to maintain mental clarity.

Over all, the BMCs enjoy some of the best health of any breed or mixed breed of dog. But all dogs with dropped ears can be subject to ear infections, especially if worked under very wet conditions, as for example, hunting wild boar in swamps. Humidity in general will cause the inner ear to sweat creating a great environment for ear mites and infection. It's a good idea to check your dog's ears on a regular basis (weekly).

This issue addresses perhaps one of the key differences between Ayurvedic and allopathic approaches to illness (and indeed wellness). In general terms, Ayurveda views the human body/mind system as one whole, consisting of discrete yet essentially related and subtly intimate parts. To maximise the healing of one part, the whole itself and all the out of balance (i.e. none-healthy) parts are simultaneously addressed.

In general, no, but we do tend to become obese if we are allowed. And those that are obese tend to have heart conditions that significantly shorten their lives.

One California sea lion passed a tapeworm that was 96 feet long! Another common ailment is pneumonia, often complicated by parasites. Other sea lions have an assortment of injuries, from net wounds to animal bites.
