Belusky:Malinois and Siberian Husky Mix

What diseases can occur in Malinois and Siberian Husky mix.

The Malinois Siberian Husky mix is a relatively new hybrid dog that has only recently entered the world of dog breeding. The mix is made up of the Malinois, a Belgian Shepherd, and the Siberian Husky. Both breeds are popular for their intelligence, energy and bravery. This mix is a wonderful combination of strengths and traits. Unfortunately, there are some diseases that affect these dogs more than other breeds.

The Malinois Siberian Husky mix is more prone to hereditary diseases than other dog breeds. One common problem is a heart defect known as mitral valve stenosis. This involves a narrowing of the mitral valve in the heart, resulting in inadequate ventilation of the heart muscle. If the condition is severe, it must be treated with medication or even surgery. Another common problem in this hybrid breed is dysplasia of the hip joint. This is an abnormal development of the joint that causes instability and pain. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to relieve the symptoms.

Other common problems in this hybrid breed include iron deficiency anemia, short tail syndrome, progressive retinal atrophy and eye disease. Because the Malinois Siberian Husky hybrid is more susceptible to disease than other dog breeds, it is especially important that owners see a veterinarian regularly and provide proper care for their dog.

A proper diet plan, regular exercise and occasional walks can help minimize problems and improve the dog's overall health. If there is any indication of a possible illness, owners* should seek the advice of the veterinarian immediately and follow the advice to ensure that their dog receives the best possible care and treatment.
