Alaskan Malamute Health Issues
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A condition where there is a build up of air or stomach contents that cannot be passed through the intestines or expelled by "burping"/ vomiting. Acute dilation is LIFE THREATENING, requiring immediate medical attention and may lead to torsion (twisting) of the stomach. Gastric torsion may cause a painful death in a matter of minutes! Rapid diagnosis and treatment by a veterinarian is essential to save the life of your dog. Dogs that have "bloated" and survived are at high risk for a recurrence of this condition.

Re-emergence of hereditary polyneuropathy in Scandinavian Alaskan malamute dogs—old enemy or new entity? A case series
A homozygous mutation has been identified in the N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) in recent cases of polyneuropathy in Alaskan malamute dogs from the Nordic countries and USA. The objective of the present study was to determine if cases diagnosed 30-40 years ago with polyneuropathy in the Alaskan malamute breed in Norway had the same hereditary disease as the recent cases. Fourteen his...
متن کاملInhibition training in wolves and dogs.
A theoretical model previously proposed by the first author hypothesizes that dogs (C. familiaris) should perform better than wolves (C. lupus) on training tasks in which (1) cues are arbitrarily selected by the experimenter, (2) reinforcement is administered by the experimenter, and (3) the to-be-learned behavior has no perceptible, functional connection with the reinforcement. To test this hy...
متن کاملThe electroretinogram in dogs with inherited cone degeneration.
The electroretinogram (ERG) of hemeralopic Alaskan malamute dogs contains only rod components. There is absence of the photopic b-wave which is normally elicited with red light stimuli during dark adaptation and, using flicker stimulation, only the first or rod branch of the flicker fusion response curve is present. At high stimulus intensity levels, the flicker response of hemeralopes is absen...
متن کاملA Gly98Val Mutation in the N-Myc Downstream Regulated Gene 1 (NDRG1) in Alaskan Malamutes with Polyneuropathy
The first cases of early-onset progressive polyneuropathy appeared in the Alaskan Malamute population in Norway in the late 1970s. Affected dogs were of both sexes and were ambulatory paraparetic, progressing to non-ambulatory tetraparesis. On neurologic examination, affected dogs displayed predominantly laryngeal paresis, decreased postural reactions, decreased spinal reflexes and muscle atrop...
متن کاملHereditary polyneuropathy in the Alaskan Malamute.
OBJECTIVE To prove the hypothesis that a polyneuropathy in Alaskan Malamutes has a genetic background. MATERIAL AND METHODS Pedigrees of 131 related Alaskan Malamutes were included in the current study. Neurological examination, electrodiagnosis as well as muscle and nerve biopsies could be performed in 10 dogs. Information about the disease status of the other 121 Alaskan Malamutes were supp...
