PRA Cord 1

PRA Cord 1

PRA Cord 1 is a disease that affects the rods and cones that make up the retina of the eye. This condition often leads to blindness in dogs, for which sadly there is no cure. CORD1 has a relatively early onset, with the majority of dogs being diagnosed at around 2 years, however the disease can be present at any age. It is known to occur in miniature dachshunds.
