Weimaraner Immunodeficiency Syndrome · Weimaraner-Immundefizienz-Syndrom · Selective IgA deficiency in Weimaraners · Weimaraner immunoglobulin deficiency
Weimaraner immunodeficiency is an inherited disorder of the immune system where affected dogs cannot produce enough antibodies, which are protective proteins needed to fight off illness. Without these antibodies, the dog's body struggles to defend itself against common bacterial and viral infections. This leads to frequent, severe infections throughout the body.
Symptoms usually begin within the first few weeks to months of a puppy's life. Owners may notice recurrent fevers, persistent skin or joint inflammation, and chronic diarrhea.
There is no cure for this condition, and management requires lifelong supportive care with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Lifetime treatment costs typically range from 2,500 to 12,000 EUR.
