Pulmonic Stenosis can affect members of the breed within the Sussex Spaniel. Common indicators include heart murmur, exercise intolerance, and abdominal distension. Pulmonic stenosis is a congenital narrowing of the pulmonary valve or surrounding tissue that restricts blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs. Mild cases are well tolerated; severe cases cause right-sided heart failure. It typically becomes apparent at Birth-2 years. This condition has a hereditary component — prospective owners should request documentation of health screening from the breeder. Treatment costs are estimated at £3,000-£6,000, making comprehensive pet insurance a practical consideration.
If your Sussex Spaniel is showing any of these signs, consult your veterinarian promptly.
Mild to moderate cases are monitored. Severe cases are treated with balloon valvuloplasty, which is highly effective in reducing the pressure gradient and improving prognosis.
