Polyneuropathy

 

Merck Vet Manual

Alaskan Malamute polyneuropathy affects Alaskan Malamutes 10-18 mo old. There is exercise intolerance, paraparesis progressing to tetraparesis, muscle atrophy, hyporeflexia, and, in some cases, laryngeal paralysis. Electromyography shows diffuse fibrillation potentials and positive sharp waves. On nerve biopsy, there is axonal necrosis with demyelination. There is no effective treatment, although clinical signs stabilize in some patients. In most affected dogs, however, progressive disability leads to euthanasia.
