Are Corona Patients At Higher Risk Of Bell's Palsy
Is
Bell's Palsy a disease? This is a question I am often asked by my patients.
My reply to them usually involves pointing out that I work with and treat such
patients all the time. Then they ask if I think that patients with Cocker
Spaniel diseases are more at risk. I give them a thoughtful look, then I smile
and tell them that I don't know.
A
recent study by Kaiser found that Cocker Spaniel patients were not at a greater
risk of developing this disease than other breeds of dogs. The study was
performed on male Cocker Spaniel patients and it involved looking at factors
like obesity, blood pressure, heart rate, and history of illness. It also
included looking at the dogs' behavior at home and at long-term care
facilities. It found that the most common behavioral problem in these patients
was housebreaking, and it was found to be present in 90% of these dogs.
Is
Bell's Palsy a genetic disease? Studies have found some evidence that
genetic factors may play a role in it. Some breeds of dogs have a higher risk
of developing this condition than others. For example, white Labradors have a
three times greater chance of developing it as does Shih Tzus. However, all
other breeds of dogs showed no significant increase in their chances of
developing the condition.
Why
is my pup so slow to walk? When walking on a loose leash, or not using a
harness, Cocker Spaniels often takes longer to get up to speed. This may be due
to them not having a strong bite. If this is the case, and it is very common,
your pup needs some time to become accustomed to a slow start. Introducing him
to short walks on a leash once a week or every other day will gradually improve
his ability to walk.
Do
I need my Cocker to "speak" when I can't see him? A cocker spaniel
may speak a little bit more than normal, especially if he is excited or scared.
This is because many breeds have a speech disorder, and they may use
severalinctive sounds or bark at many different pitches and intervals. If you
are seeing your Cocker being talkative, it may be due to a fear or anxiety. Some
breeds have an easier time with expressive behaviors like face and eye contact.
Are
Corona patients at higher risk of having cancer? We don't know, but the chance
is higher. The exact reasons are not known. But it is worth looking into, as
this disease is very common in the Canine breed.
