As this is a newly-discovered disorder in Cocker and Springer Spaniels we are offering this test with the cheaper option of testing an existing DNA sample from previous testing. If you would like us to test DNA you have tested with us previously, please select the correct option and provide the sample number in the relevant box

We strongly recommend the testing of Cocker Spaniels and Springer Spaniels for this disorder as the incidence is estimated to be 2.5%.

 

Description

PP produces episodes of myotonic-like generalised muscle stiffness after exercise. Episodes generally last less than 45 seconds but there are reports of more severe episodes associated with breathing difficulty (apnoea) and lack of oxygen (cyanosis).
