Abstract
Familial polymyositis in humans has predisposing genetic factors. Descriptions of breed-specific variants of polymyositis in dogs are limited to Newfoundlands and Boxers. A breed-specific myositis in Hungarian Vizslas, marked by pharyngeal dysphagia and masticatory muscle atrophy, occurs in the United Kingdom. In a survey funded by the Vizsla Club of America Welfare Foundation, 16 of 2,505 (0.64%) Vizsla dogs were diagnosed with myositis. Myositis was the 3rd most common disorder affecting nervous tissue or muscles after epilepsy (77 of 2,505; 3.04%) and other cases without a definitive diagnosis (22 of 2,505; 0.88%). In this report we describe 3 unrelated Hungarian Vizslas with masticatory muscle atrophy and pharyngeal dysphagia from across the United States (Pennsylvania, California, Georgia)
