Hypoadrenocorticism in a kindred of Pomeranian dogs

Abstract
in English, French

Three adult Pomeranian dogs, full siblings from 2 litters, were diagnosed with primary hypoadrenocorticism following onset of hypoadrenal crisis. Review of the family history revealed the dogs' maternal grandmother also had hypoadrenocorticism. All 4 dogs were pedigree-certified by the American Kennel Club. An inherited basis for hypoadrenocorticism is proposed in these Pomeranian dogs.

Hypoadrénocorticisme dans un parentage de chiens Poméraniens. Trois chiens Poméraniens adultes, tous issus de deux portées ayant les mêmes parents, ont été diagnostiqués d’hypoadrénocorticisme primaire après l’apparition d’une crise hypoadrénale. L’examen des antécédents familiaux a révélé que la grand-mère maternelle des chiens souffrait aussi d’hypoadrénocorticisme. Le pédigrée des 4 chiens a été certifié par l’American Kennel Club. Une hérédité d’hypoadrénocorticisme est proposée chez ces Poméraniens.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).
