Article Synopsis
- Anecdotal reports of involuntary movement episodes in Border Terriers suggest a possible link to paroxysmal dystonic choreoathetosis, prompting a study to analyze this condition's characteristics and clinical progression.
- Data were collected from veterinary neurologists and affected dog owners, revealing that the episodes often feature dystonia, tremors, and can be triggered by excitement, with some owners noting improvements through dietary changes.
- The research indicates a potential genetic predisposition to this dystonia phenotype, highlighting the need for further exploration into its genetic causes and effective treatment options using anticonvulsants and dietary adjustments.
