This inherited condition, known as RDHN, causes severe maldevelopment of both the kidneys and the liver. It leads to the formation of fluid-filled sacs (cysts) in the kidneys and progressive scarring (fibrosis) in the liver tissue. These structural defects prevent both vital organ systems from functioning.
Because this is a lethal neonatal disease, affected puppies are typically stillborn or die within the first few days of life. Signs in newborns include extreme weakness, failure to nurse, and rapid decline.
This condition is untreatable and unfortunately fatal shortly after birth. Veterinary costs are generally limited to supportive care or humane euthanasia, ranging from 0 to 500 EUR.
Estimated range of typical treatment cost. Actual cost depends on severity, clinic and region.
