• Elbow Dysplasia(ED)

  Bewegungsapparat

  Elbow dysplasia is a developmental disorder of the musculoskeletal system where the three bones forming the elbow joint do not fit together properly. This misalignment causes abnormal friction and wear on the joint cartilage, eventually leading to painful, chronic joint inflammation and arthritis. It is a complex genetic condition influenced by multiple genes.

• Ichthyosis(ICT)

  Haut und Fell

  Ichthyosis is an inherited skin disorder where the outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, does not develop or shed properly. This defect in keratinization—the process of forming a protective outer skin barrier—leads to a buildup of dry, thick, and scaly skin. Because this barrier is compromised, the dog's body is more vulnerable to secondary infections.

• Degenerative Myelopathy(DM)

  Nervensystem

  Degenerative Myelopathy is a progressive disease of the spinal cord where the protective sheath around the nerves slowly breaks down. This deterioration disrupts the vital communication signals between the brain and the muscles of the hind limbs. Over time, this lack of signal transmission leads to a complete loss of muscle control in the back legs.

• Neonatal Encephalopathy with Seizures(NEWS)

  Nervensystem

  This is a severe, inherited brain disorder that affects newborn puppies, caused by an autosomal-recessive genetic mutation. It leads to abnormal development and degeneration of the central nervous system, which controls the body's movements and mental functions. Because it is inherited recessively, a puppy must inherit the mutated gene from both parents to be affected.
