Hungarian Vizsla Myositis
Recently in the UK there have been several Hungarian
Vizslas diagnosed with myositis (muscle inflammation) or
polymyositis. Affected dogs have had problems swallowing both food and water, excessive
drooling, and usually also muscle wasting around the head. These
signs (dysphagia, etc) have been noticed at the beginning of the dogs
illness, and not at the end of a protracted process. Testing
has excluded masticatory myositis as a diagnosis, and all affected dogs
have required veterinary attention. Many of
the dogs have presented with this condition from around 10 months of age,
up to around 2 years of age.

database of injuries.
If your Vizsla has
sustained a tail injury, please consider participating in this survey.
