Amstaff - Ataxia test NU Amstaff - Ataxia test NU

Hvis du har en amstaff eller blanding med denne race i er det en meget, meget god idé at få screenet din hund for denne lidelse. Hvis din hund lider af sygdommen vil det kunne give klarhed og du vil undgå fejldiagnose fra din dyrlæge samt udtrækkelse af behandlingsperiode for sygdommen da den er uhelbredelig.
Testen udføres meget nemt. Man bestiller et testkit ved antagene, tager testkittet til sin dyrlæge som udfører et mundskrab og stempler testen som så sendes til antagene.

Jeg fik idag denne fine mail fra antagene hvor det beskrives rigtig godt.
