A chromosome has been located in dogs that confers a high risk of susceptibility to OCD. [21] Canine chromosome 7 has been found to be most significantly associated with obsessive compulsive disorder in dogs, or more specifically, canine compulsive disorder (CCD). This breakthrough helped further relate OCD in humans to CCD in canines.
Trisomy 21 – Down syndrome, an example of a polysomy at chromosome 21 Polysomy is a condition found in many species, including fungi, plants, insects, and mammals, in which an organism has at least one more chromosome than normal, i.e., there may be three or more copies of the chromosome rather than the expected two copies.

7q11.23 duplication syndrome (also called dup7 or 7dup or duplication of the Williams-Beuren syndrome critical region) is a rare genetic syndrome caused by micro-duplication of 1.5-1.8 mega base in section q11.23 of chromosome 7.
Chromosome 7 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans, who normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 7 spans about 160 million [ 4 ] base pairs (the building material of DNA ) and represents between 5 and 5.5 percent of the total DNA in cells .
Rage syndrome is a rare seizure disorder in dogs, characterized by explosive aggression. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is frequently confused with idiopathic aggression , a term for aggression with no identifiable cause.
It falls under obsessive compulsive disorder, which is a neuropsychiatric disorder that can present in dogs as canine compulsive disorder. [57] In one clinical study on this potential behavioral problem, 18 tail-chasing terriers were given clomipramine orally at a dosage of 1 to 2 mg/kg (0.5 to 0.9 mg/lb) of body weight, every 12 hours.
Say you have a 4-year-old Labrador named Comet — with the new equation, Comet's real "dog age" would be slightly older than 53. The reason for the difference is actually pretty simple.
Symptoms of cerebellar abiotrophy include ataxia or lack of balance, an awkward wide-legged stance, a head tremor (intention tremor) (in dogs, body tremors also occur), hyperreactivity, lack of menace reflex, stiff or high-stepping gait, coarse or jerky head bob when in motion (or, in very young animals, when attempting to nurse), apparent lack ...
