Cerebellar degeneration in a mature Staffordshire terrier.
A 5-year-old Staffordshire terrier exhibited slowly progressive signs of cerebellar disease, including nystagmus and dysmetria. After a 30-month course, the dog was euthanized. Grossly, the cerebellum was small and comprised only 5% of the brain weight. Histopathological examination of the brain documented diffuse degeneration. Purkinje cells were most depleted, but granular cells and the molecular layer of cerebellum were also depleted. The history and necropsy examination were evidence of late-onset primary cerebellar degeneration.
