Ullrich-Like Muscular Dystrophy, Variant 2

Description

Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (Labrador Retriever Type) is an inherited muscle disease in dogs.

Affected dogs will present with deformed limbs and hyperflexion of the joints, most notably of the wrist (carpus) and the ankle (hock) giving the dog a flatfooted stance, at around 3 to 4 months of age.

Affected dogs may develop muscle Atrophy over time and have abnormal gait. The disease progresses slowly, and dogs can live many years before the disease becomes severe enough to warrant humane euthanasia.
