Luxating patella is another health problem in the Pomeranian breed. Occurs when, through both malformation or trauma, the ridges forming the patellar groove of the knee are important and are too low to allow the patella to sit properly in a safe manner. This can cause the patella to "dislocate" (jump out of the slot) side, which will cause the leg to lock the foot of the soil. As the contraction of the muscles, the patella can not return to his position. The initial pain is caused by the ball to slip through the crests of the femur. Once out of position, the dog feels no pain from a herniated disc.

Tracheal collapse is caused by a weakening of the tracheal rings in the trachea. This occurs when the rings which normally maintain the shape of the collapse of the trachea, closure of the airway. Symptoms include a cough collapse of a horn may sound like a goose honk, exercise intolerance, fainting, and a cough that is aggravated by the heat of exercise, and emotion.

In Pomeranians, a condition often called "black skin disease" occurs which is a combination of alopecia (hair loss) and hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin). Other names for this condition include wooly coat, funk, shelter, disease or pseudo-Cushing's syndrome hair loss. This condition affects men more than women Pomeranians, and may be inherited. Although most affected dogs show signs of puberty following may occur at any age. Other conditions may mimic this condition, such as Cushing syndrome, hypothyroidism, chronic skin infections, hormonal and reproductive disorders.

If the temperature rises to 105 ° F (41 ° C) are no longer able to cope and to cool the demand for oxygen is much higher, and requires immediate cooling.
