If it ruptures it will lead to instability (Weinstein and Mongil, 1995). In the absence of trauma the cruciate ligament rupture may be connected with the ligament’s gradual loss of resistance due to degenerative phenomena that increase with age. 1. Femur 2. Tibia 3.

Strong jaws and teeth Ingestion and digestion are connected Among the factors causing gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) – also known as bloat and torsion – are small kibbles and rapid ingestion (Glickman et al, 1994; Raghavan et al, 2004). As with all large dogs, the risk of GDV in Rottweilers is not to be brushed aside, although the likelihood of it occurring remains relatively low compared with other giant <strong>breed</strong>s. According to Ward et al (2003), 3.9% of individuals will suffer from the problem some time in their life. Dilatation occurs when the sphincter at the end of the stomach, the pylorus, does not allow the stomach to empty normally. This is quickly aggravated by the accumulation of gas emitted from the stomach contents and air ingested by the dog as it unsuccessfully tries to vomit. It can be followed by the rotation of the stomach, which is facilitated by the laxity in the way the stomach is attached in the abdomen. This disrupts local circulation, lowers blood pressure and provokes a sudden state of shock. If surgery is not performed in time GDV can be fatal. This means it is essential to take account of the anatomical characteristics of the Rottweiler’s teeth and jaws to ensure the dog is given a food that encourages it to chew and prevents it from sucking a large quantity of air in with its food. 13 © J.-M.
