Details
The Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCLs) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by accumulation of autofluorescent cytoplasmic antibodies within cells of the nervous system. Affected dogs typically exhibit a condition of cerebellar dysfunction in which voluntary muscular movements tend to result in loss of control and coordination. Symptoms (3-5 years of age) : problems with balance, abnormal eye movements and stiffening of the body. Disease progression: Difficulty in walking, frequent falling, seizures, and behavioural changes
