Informations générales
Hereditary Footpad Hyperkeratosis (HFH) is a skin disorder of the footpads, which causes the development of thick, painful, callus-like growths. This variant of the disorder, found in the Rottweiler, is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene DSG1. The disorder is also known as Palmoplantar Hyperkeratosis.
Caractéristiques cliniques
Symptoms for HFH affected dogs start at about 8 weeks of age, with footpads appearing unusually dry. The pads develop thick, rapidly-growing horny growths, which are painful and can cause additional discomfort while standing. The condition may also leave the dog more susceptible to additional skin and ear infections.
