Socialising your Border Collie Puppy

Socialising your Border Collie Puppy

Too many people wait too long before beginning to socialize their Border Collie puppy.
This can be a big mistake that takes a lot of time to correct when your pup grows into an adult. Expose your puppy to the norms of life in your household.

Start socialising your puppy the day it comes home.
Introduce puppy gently to all your family members and let them play with it gently.
Do let visitors meet your new puppy and interact with it.
It is important your Border Collie puppy learns to trust humans so make sure all their experiences are pleasant.

Glaucoma in Border Collies

User Rating: / 1
PoorBest 
Border collies, because of their intelligence and good nature, have been popular among dog fanciers for many years. Along with their distinctive markings and alert, friendly countenance, they are prized for their ability to herd sheep and cattle. Although they are usually healthy, the incidence of glaucoma among border collies is on the rise. In fact, more and more dog breeds are becoming affected with glaucoma as time goes by.

Glaucoma is a painful eye disease characterized by a loss of the ability of the eye to drain fluid, resulting in high pressure within the eye.

People, cats, and horses get glaucoma, too, as well as many other kinds of animals. The amount of pressure in the eye varies with the type of animal that has it, with dogs suffering from a much higher amount of pressure in the eye than people who have glaucoma.

There is no cure for glaucoma but fortunately there are ways to treat it. The best treatment, as is so often true, is to get medical care as soon as possible. Glaucoma in dogs is considered a medical emergency because blindness or the loss of an eye are possible results if medical care is delayed.
