Deafness in animals can occur as either unilateral (one ear affected) or bilateral (both ears affected). This occurrence of either type of deafness seems to be relatively the same in both mixed-breed animals and pure-breed animals. [5] Research has found a significant association between deafness in dogs and the pigment genes piebald and merle ...
Deafness* in dogs can be either acquired or congenital. Predisposing factors for acquired deafness include chronic infection, use of certain drugs, and most commonly, age-related changes in the cochlea. Congenital deafness can be genetic, seen sometimes in dogs with merle or white coats, or caused by in utero damage from infections or toxins. [77]
When pets break bones due to accidents or trauma, the cost to repair them can vary significantly. Surgery to set the bones, including X-rays and follow-up care, can cost between $2,000 and $6,000.
Urinary System Cancer. Transitional cell carcinoma, a type of cancer most commonly seen in a dog's bladder, may respond to ivermectin in the same way as human renal cell carcinoma.
Mutations in the gene encoding otoferlin are a cause of a neurosensory nonsyndromic recessive deafness, DFNB9.The diagnosis is identified by molecular genetic testing.. In October 2023 two small clinical trials for a gene therapy restoring the defective Otoferlin via an adeno-associated virus (AAVs) have been announced.
The United States Food and Drugs Administration is warning pet owners about a common medication given to pets to treat arthritis. The F.D.A. now says that the drug Librela may be associated with ...
Deafness can occur in white cats with yellow, green or blue irises, although it is mostly likely in white cats with blue irises. [4] In white cats with one blue eye and one eye of a different color (odd-eyed cats), deafness is more likely to affect the ear on the blue-eyed side. [1] Approximately 50% of white cats have one or two blue eyes. [5]
Nonsyndromic deafness constitutes 75% of all hearing loss cases, and an estimated 100 genes are thought to be linked to this condition. About 80% are linked to autosomal recessive inheritance, 15% to autosomal dominant inheritance, 1-3% through the X chromosome, and 0.5-1% are associated with mitochondrial inheritance .
