Oculo-Skeletal Dysplasia (Labrador Retriever Type)

Description

Retinal dysplasia/oculoskeletal dysplasia 1 is an inherited Collagen disorder. Dwarfism and eye abnormalities may be apparent as early as 4 to 6 weeks of age in puppies that test positive. Dwarfism is characterized by shortened forelimbs that become curved as the dog grows. In puppies, the top of the head may be noticeably dome shaped compared to littermates. A range of eye abnormalities is visible on a veterinary eye exam of which retinal detachment and cataracts are the most common. Carrier dogs do not have skeletal changes but may have mild eye abnormalities, including retinal folds.
