When a dwarf is born

Nebulosa · 11-02-2010, 23:19

Mijke, a long time I had saw a very small ammount pituitary glands of addult dwarfs in biopsy, some of them were visibly different even in size and format, I would like to know, for those breeders who lost one or two puppies in litter, would be possible by a necropsy see if it was the pituitary gland of a dwarf pup?

Yesterday I did try to reach the specialist of the university, but it did not work out. But monday I'll speak him and I'll also ask for this possiblity

With histology it can't be proved it is pituitary dwarfism.

You only can have strong suggestions it maybe is.
Most of the time the pituitary of dwarfs has cystic deformations and relative less pituitary tissue
But also normal dogs can have cystic deformations in the pituitary.

Thanks for this link!

In the meantime also 5 other CsW dwarfs were born in several countries.
A few of them will come to Holland for treatment and research.
