Disease Description: An abnormal looseness to the skin characterized by large, deep, blister-like lesions.
Inherit Mode: From the few cases studied to date, the mode of inheritance is thought to be autosomal recessive.
Disease Symptom: Severely affected pups develop blisters andcrusted erosive ulcerson the footpads, face, genital region and ears, and in the mouth.Mildly affected dogsdevelop occasional blisters in these areas, especially if there isfriction or trauma tothe skin.
Disease Cause: -
Disease Diagnose: Diagnosis is by skin biopsy. This is a simpleprocedure, done withlocal anesthetic, in which your veterinarian removes a small sample ofyour dog's skin forexamination by a veterinary pathologist.
Treat Method: There is no specific treatment for epidermolysisbullosa, but dogsthat are mildly affected can lead a relatively normal life withmanagement of theirsurroundings to minimize trauma, and appropriate treatment ofoccasional secondaryinfections.
Breeder Advice: Affected dogs and their close relatives should notbe used forbreeding.
