Congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS)

LABOKLIN Service ID: 8206

Congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) is a inherited neuromuscular disorder in dogs. It leads to a generalized muscle weakness that becomes more pronounced after physical exertion, stress, or excitement.
Affected puppies often show first symptoms at just a few weeks of age – in some cases as early as the second week of life. The dogs tire quickly, their movements become unsteady, and they increasingly struggle to support their own body weight.
