What is Alaskan Malamute Polyneuropathy?
Alaskan Malamute Polyneuropathy (AMP) is a genetic disorder affecting nerve function. It causes muscle weakness, difficulty walking, and, in severe cases, breathing problems.
Symptoms and Diagnosis of AMP
Dogs with AMP often struggle with coordination and may have a wobbly gait. DNA testing confirms the presence of the NDRG1 mutation responsible for the disorder.
Managing Alaskan Malamute Polyneuropathy
There is no cure, but physiotherapy and supportive care help affected dogs maintain mobility and comfort.
