Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC) is found to be the culprit for decades old unsolved "mystery" problem dating back to the BSS foundation lines.
Boykins affected may become unsteady on their feet to the point of their legs collapsing out from underneath them. EIC is a genetic disorder passed down through a gene from both the sire and dam of affected dogs.
Often mislabeled as seizures, EIC can now be positively identified with a University of MN DNA test. Click here for more info: http://boykinspanielclub.org/health.html
