Understanding Pet Birth Defects and How your Vet Can Help
Common Pet Birth Defects
Pet birth defects can manifest in a variety of ways and affect different parts of the body. Here are some of the most common types of birth defects seen in pets:
• Congenital Heart Defects: Just like humans, pets can be born with heart abnormalities. These defects can range from mild to severe and may require specialized care.
• Cleft Palate or Lip: Cleft palate or cleft lip can make it difficult for pets to eat and may lead to other health issues if not addressed promptly.
• Orthopedic Abnormalities: Some pets are born with orthopedic issues, such as hip dysplasia or limb deformities, which can affect their mobility and comfort.
• Eye Defects: Birth defects in the eyes, such as congenital cataracts or retinal abnormalities, can impact a pet’s vision and overall quality of life.
• Neurological Disorders: These can include conditions like epilepsy or brain malformations, which may require ongoing management and treatment.
