Exercise Induced Collapse?
I normally frequent another forum, but have done some spoting here previously as firsttimeelkhunter. I would appriciate any information you all might have on this condition. Thanks, Ryan
This is what I posted on the forum I regularly frequent:
My dog has been tentatively diagnosed with exercise induced collapse (EIC). She will begin to get wobbly in the hind legs and then she acts like she is drunk. She can't stand or walk. If she was human, I'd say she was having a stroke. I put her in a tub of cold water and force feed her sugar water with a syringe, after 10-15 minutes, she comes around and is ready to go. This has happened three times. The last just now. It took almost 20 minutes for her to come around this time. I have not found much on it on the net. The vets around here don't really know a whole lot about it and I am wondering if anyone here does?
She is just over two years old and had a litter of pups with out a problem. She is a good hunter, not great, but is good. I want her for breeding, but am concerned about this condition. Any help would be great!
There is one researcher that keeps coming up on Google. Can't really find anything else on the net.
Thanks, Ryan
