Heart Problems in Males

Male Cane Corsos are prone to genetic heart problems such as dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Symptoms include coughing, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. Management involves medications, dietary changes, and regular cardiac monitoring. Genetic testing before breeding is crucial, with OFA and other cardiac health assessments providing important information. Preventive strategies include maintaining a healthy lifestyle for your dog and ensuring proper genetic testing of breeding pairs.
