Has anyone heard of or seen a GSD with muscular dystrophy or anything similar? There is one that is on the East Coast, American show lines, that is down big time on his pasterns and hocks. I have seen another one that was very similar and he came from a good American show breeder. In both of those boys, there was no muscle in the front legs, they were splinted with no help and their front feet were splayed out causing their toes to point up. There is another that I have seen, that is not the same, he is down on his hocks, and has trouble moving his rear, kind of swaying his hips back and forth. This pup is alright in the front, except for a buckled carpel joint on one side that was splinted, and it has come back. That pup is probably going to have to be put down, he is 7 months and I told his breeder to send him off for necropsy. Has anyone seen muscle problems like this in the GSD's?
