Puppy Paralysis
(Fibrocartilaginous Embolus, FCE)
The IWHG is currently collating incidences of
fibrocartilagenous embolism (FCE, puppy paralysis). Once enough case
studies are collected we will analyse the information with an emphasis
on finding successful treatment protocols. Irish Wolfhounds are
the only breed where this occurs in puppies as most breeds are affected
at around five or six.
We hope that this research will discover the cause/s of FCE and determine the most effective treatment for a positive outcome.
