Test Type
Genetic Disease/Disorder
Details
Glycogen Storage Disease alters the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase, a key step in the production of glucose, to be deficient. This leads to chronic low blood sugar, liver damage and premature death. Generalised symptoms of Glycogen Storage Disease in dogs includes weakness, chronic low blood sugar, collapse, lethargy, enlarged, liver anorexia. Age of onset from birth/puppyhood. Specific to Type III: lethargy, exercise intolerance and collapse ( 14 months of age)
