What are the clinical signs associated with dysautonomia?
Ocular signs that are common to most dogs with dysautonomia are: mid-range or dilated pupils that are not responsive to light, decreased tear production, and elevated third eyelids. Vomiting and regurgitation are also frequently seen because of a decrease in esophageal and intestinal motility. Dysautonomia patients often have difficulty producing a coordinated stream of urine, and anal sphincter tone is decreased in the majority of cases. Generalized weakness and dry mucous membranes are also typically present.
