| 英文描述 | Rottweiler dogs have developed a demyelinating disease of the motor and sensory tracts of the spinal cord, brain stem, and deep cerebellar white matter. Signs of ataxia and paresis were progressive over a 6-8 month period, and in some cases signs commenced in the fore limbs. This is a disease of young adult dogs, with signs beginning after 1.5 years of age. Resembles neuroaxonal dystrophy clinically, but in the latter disease animals are not weak, maintain proprioception, and have nystagmus and tremors. Dx confirmed at necropsy. Cerebrospinal fluid, radiographic, and routine hematologic and blood chemical examinations usually show no abnormalities. Presumed to be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. |
