| description | "Tollarsjuka" is a disease with a suspected immunopathological background seen in Nova Scotia duck tolling retrievers. Pyrexia, lameness, stiffness and joint- or musclepain are typical clinical signs.
The purpose of this study is to describe case histories from dogs with a possible evidence of "tollarsjuka". 18 private dogs were included in this report.
Generalised stiffness, lameness and fatigue were the most frequent manifestations of the disease. Radiographical examination of painful joints and joint fluid analysis from two dogs indicated an immune-mediated, non-erosive arthritis in evaluated dogs. Hematological and serological examination of the blood revealed no changes of importance for the development of "tollarsjuka". Serum protein electrophoresis was performed in 12 dogs and documented a mild decrease in the concentration of albumin. This may be due to an early glomerulonephritis often seen in dogs manifesting a systemic, autoimmune disease.
Antibodies specific for Borrelia burgdorferi and Ehrlichia equi (Anaplasma phagocytophilum) were detected in the blood from three evaluated dogs. It is uncertain whether borrelia/ehrlichia is actually causing an immunemediated arthritis in these cases.
Corticosteroid and/or NSAID-treatment performed in 15 dogs resulted in a clinical improvement, but not always in complete recovery.
This study reveals no certain correlation between evaluated findings and "tollarsjuka". However, further investigations are needed in order to characterize the disease. |

Sjukdomen tycks vara av autoimmun karaktär, men bakgrunden är ännu oklar. Hundarna visar en varierande symtombild, men det ger sig ofta uttryck i form av hälta, stelhet, led- och muskelsmärta samt feber. Syftet med studien var att sammanställa journaler från hundar med misstänkt ”tollarsjuka”. Patienterna som ingår i studien är 18 privatägda tollare. Den dominerande symtombilden bland de undersökta tollarna är problem med trötthet, hälta och stelhet. Röntgenundersökning av smärtande leder samt undersökning av ledvätska från två hundar indikerar att det är en immunmedierad, icke erosiv artrit som drabbar hundarna. Blodprovsundersökningar visar hos ett fåtal hundar lindriga hematologiska förändringar som tycks ha liten betydelse för utvecklingen av ”tollarsjuka”. Vid elektrofores av proteinfraktionen i blodet har sex av 12 hundar lindrigt sänkta albuminvärden. Detta skulle kunna vara tidiga symtom på glomerulinefrit, som kan ses hos hundar med systemiska, autoimmuna sjukdomar.
