IRISH SETTER HEALTH INFORMATION
The Irish Setter is a breed with boundless energy, so one of the most common issues is destructive behaviour if this need is not met. Other diseases they may experience include Canine Hip Dysplasia, Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Panosteitis, Osteochondritis Dissecans, Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy, Megaoesophagus, and Hypothyroidism. Less common but also reported are Epilepsy, Haemophilia A and Canine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency. Like all breeds with a deep-chested conformation the Irish Setter is at risk of Gastric Torsion (bloat).
