Neuroaxonal dystrophy is a severe, inherited disorder of the central nervous system where the endings of nerve cells, called axons, swell and degenerate. Axons act like electrical wires that transmit signals between the brain and the body, and their breakdown disrupts normal communication. This progressive deterioration leads to widespread neurological dysfunction.
Symptoms typically appear within the first year of a dog's life, starting with a stiff, uncoordinated walk and balance issues. Over time, these signs worsen to include head tremors and a general loss of body control.
There is no cure for this progressive condition, and management is limited to supportive care or eventual euthanasia. Diagnostic testing, such as an MRI, and palliative care typically cost between €1,000 and €3,500.
