Dogs clinically affected by Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC) will often begin to exhibit leg weakness followed by a complete collapse after just 5 to 15 minutes of strenuous activity. The severity and duration of these spells can vary depending on the environment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0px 1em 1em;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eA genetic mutation that causes EIC has recently been identified, and it is estimated that at least 25% of all the Labrador Retrievers taking part in field trials today have at least one copy of the mutation. It is a recessive disorder; therefore carriers (those having 1 copy of mutation) will not show symptoms-however, if they are used for breeding, they will pass on the mutation 50% of the time. If a carrier-to-carrier mating occurs, it is expected that 25% of the offspring will be “EIC affected” (those having 2 copies of the mutation).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0px 1em 1em;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eThe DNA test is an accurate, convenient, and affordable tool to help breeders avoid producing EIC at risk offspring and significantly reduce the gene frequency in future generations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0px 1em 1em;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eThe results confirm 1 of the 3 possible genotypes for the tested dog:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0px 1em 1em;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eCLEAR (those having 2 copies of the normal allele and appear to be normal).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0px 1em 1em;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eCARRIER (those having 1 copy of the normal allele and 1 copy of the mutation but appear to be normal).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0em 0px 1em 1em;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eAFFECTED (those having 2 copies of the mutation and will likely show clinical signs for EIC).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Petshavenaus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46735500214441,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/1009\/4249\/files\/51dJodKxMgL._AC_SL1500_7d692ac0-a433-40c0-b9cb-a735bc7af59c.jpg?v=1768484974","url":"https:\/\/petshaven.au\/products\/affinitydna-dog-exercise-induced-collapse-eic-dna-test","provider":"Petshavenaus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
