Hypoadrenocorticism in young related Nova Scotia duck tolling retrievers.
Five cases of hypoadrenocorticism in young related Nova Scotia duck tolling retrievers are discussed. Two were littermates and the others shared one or more common ancestors. No specific mode of inheritance was determined. Clinical and laboratory findings typical of hypoadrenocorticism were observed. Further documentation will be required to confirm a breed predisposition.
