what percentage of cavalier King Charles spaniels with Syringomyelia?
what percentage of dogs that have died? if you buy one it is a sure hell is this thing, do King Charles spaniels get it? Thank you.
I own a cavalier King Charles spaniel. It is far more likely to suffer from a heart murmur or luxating patella than syringomelia. However, this website http://www.cavalierhealth.org/syringomyelia.htm States that researchers believe that 50% have some kind of disorder of some degree. I can tell you that I belong to several groups breed and I do not know anyone who has a dog that is diagnosed with this conditions. I have see that there are many heart murmurs and a few issues with the patellar. ADD Kelsey is right (I seem to say that a lot lately) it why Cavaliers are so expensive. Health testing and responsible breeding helps bring the rates down, but this is why people get down to the BYB's and puppymill dogs. This condition in Cavaliers is analyzed by bad breeding practices. To answer the other question I skipped ... King Charles Spaniels (non-Cavaliers) ~ ~ you get This number may be many other breeds of dog, it's just more likely than a conventional. It is a type of Chiari malformation, which is something that people can suffer also included.
