The condition can be inherited ( Primary glaucoma ) or a secondary condition to a variety of other eye issues including tumors or lens luxation.

The main hereditary problem highlighted by the American Sealyham Terrier Club is an eye condition called lens luxation, for which there are DNA tests.

As of mid-2013, the greatest threat facing this race is the genetic mutation of the eye lens called primary lens luxation ( PLL ).
34.
Due to the construction of the fetlock joint, luxation will result in either a complete rupture of the flexor tendons and suspensory ligament or a lateral disarticulation.

Two months after the injection, 50 % of the patients with luxation or hypermobility were improved or healed, but only 27 % of the patients with no visible abnormality improved.

The OFA hip reimbursement program has been funded since 2006 and was expanded in 2015 to include genetic DNA testing and Patellar Luxation . ( http : / / boykinspaniel . org / BSF . php)

Statistics from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals indicate that of the 467 Bulldogs tested between 1979 and 2009 ( 30 years ), 73.9 % were affected by Patellar luxation affects 6.2 % of Bulldogs.

Breeding stock should be checked for patella luxation, cardiac problems, PLL ( primary lens luxation ), thyroid issues, glomerulonephritis, and other eye disorders, all of which have been documented issues in the breed.

This study found that the pattern of lesions was different depending on the obesity of the patients : obese patients were most likely to have posterior luxation of the coccyx, while thin patients were most likely to have coccygeal spicules.
