Bronx the GSP with ECLE Biography
Bronx is a 1 year old German Shorthaired Pointer that has Exfoliative Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (ECLE). ECLE is a Genetic Auto-Immune Disease that could have been prevented by the breeders of his litter. ECLE has, to date, only been described in the German short-haired pointers. Examination of the pedigrees of affected dogs suggests an autosomal recessive form of inheritance. The disease is considered to be an autoimmune problem as the basement membrane zone of the skin is affected (as it is with all types of lupus erythematosus) with antigenantibody complex deposition leading to an inflammatory response. Any GSP that is going to be breed, should be tested prior to breeding. This testing can be performed through UPENN and the cost is a minimal $75. This is uncalled for if a breeder is refusing to perform the testing prior to breeding since the result has a chance of this horrible disease being passed to the puppies. There is no cure of this disease and the owners only can do the best that they can with maintaining/decreasing the number of flare-ups the pup has or to euthanize. I refuse to euthanize since Bronx is a puppy full of life and I am doing well at maintaining his flares but as stated before, this all could have been prevented.
