What diseases are Löwchens prone to?
Though generally healthy, Löwchen are prone to certain health issues, including:
- Luxating patella: This condition occurs when the kneecap dislocates from its normal position, which can cause pain and mobility issues.
- Hip dysplasia: Although it’s generally less common in Löwchen compared to larger breeds, hip dysplasia can still occur in the breed.
- Eye issues: Some Löwchen can develop cataracts or progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), a degenerative eye condition that can lead to vision loss.
