Van den Ende-Gupta Syndrome (Wire Fox Terrier Type)

Description

Van den Ende-Gupta Syndrome affects dogs and is an inherited bone disorder. Affected puppies are born with multiple skeletal abnormalities of which an underbite is most notable. They also have small eyes and bowed hind legs. Skeletal changes in the legs make dogs prone to luxation of the knees and occasionally elbows. While affected dogs live normal lives, they are however prone to osteoarthritis of the knees and vertebrae.
