At what age does EIC typically develop?
Even though a dog’s genetic susceptibility to EIC is determined by the combination of E or N forms of the EIC gene it obtains from its parents, signs of EIC do not typically develop until the dogs begin intense retriever training. First symptoms are usually noted between 5 months and 3 years of age. However, we have confirmed affected dogs who did not have collapse episodes until as late as age 10.
