Hereditary myopathy in Labrador Retrievers: clinical variations

Abstract

ABSTRACT Four cases of Labrador Retriever myopathy are described. These examples have been chosen to illustrate the variation in clinical signs which may be seen in this condition, and include the first example of a confirmed case of Labrador Retriever myopathy in which mega‐oesophagus has been reported as a complicating feature. The implications of the clinical variations in diagnosis, management and control of the condition are discussed.
