deaf dog cases.
Not exact matches
Terrie often works with separation anxiety
cases and has done extensive work with
deaf dogs.
In this
case the deafness is neither dominant nor recessive, but is linked to a dominant gene that disrupts pigmentation and as a secondary effect produces
deaf dogs.
Recognition of affected
cases is often difficult, because unilaterally
deaf dogs appear to hear normally unless a special test (the brainstem auditory evoked response, BAER) is performed; facilities to perform the BAER are usually only available at veterinary schools (see list).
