This is a severe genetic condition affecting the skeletal and structural development of the skull and face. Inherited in an X-linked pattern, it causes profound malformations of the bones and tissues in the head. Due to the extreme nature of these physical abnormalities, the condition is typically lethal.
These severe facial deformities are visible immediately at birth. Owners will notice extreme facial asymmetry, misaligned jaws, and a critical inability to breathe or nurse properly.
Because this condition is lethal, there are no corrective treatments or long-term therapies available. Veterinary care is limited to palliative support or humane euthanasia, with expected costs ranging from 0 to 500 EUR.
