What is Musladin-Lueke Syndrome?
Musladin-Lueke Syndrome (MLS) is a genetic disorder affecting Beagles, causing stiff joints, shortened limbs, and an unusual gait. It is caused by a mutation affecting connective tissue.
Symptoms and Diagnosis of MLS
Affected puppies often have tight skin, small stature, and limited joint movement. DNA testing confirms the condition.
Managing MLS in Dogs
There is no cure, but physiotherapy and supportive care can improve mobility and quality of life. Responsible breeding helps prevent MLS.
