Acral mutilation syndrome - English Cocker Spaniel, English Pointer, English Springer Spaniel, French Spaniel, German Shorthaired Pointer
In breeds such as German Shorthaired Pointer, English Pointer, English Cocker Spaniel, English Springer Spaniel, and French Spaniel, symptoms typically appear around four months of age, when puppies begin licking, biting, or injuring their paws and toes. Despite this, proprioception, motor function, and spinal reflexes remain unaffected. Some affected puppies only show pain insensitivity in the lower limbs without self-injury, making diagnosis more challenging.
