Episodic Falling

Breed

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

The Disease

Prof. Dr. Robert Harvey working at the London School of Pharmacy has recently identified the underlying genetic defect causing Episodic Falling in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. LABOKLIN recently implemented the genetic test for this disease under licence from the London School of Pharmacy. This test is currently patented within Europe, with Laboklin as the testing laboratory
 
Episodic Falling is a neurological disorder found in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Episodes are triggered by exercise, stress or excitement and are characterised by stiffness throughout thoracic and pelvic limbs resulting in a characteristic ‘deer-stalking’ position and/or collapse. Clinical symptoms are variable in onset (between fourteen weeks and four years of age) and severity.
 
The new DNA test enables the identification of clinically normal carrier animals and will enable confirmatory diagnosis of affected animals.
