Abstract

[Extract] REFLEX myoclonic conditions have been reported in mice, labrador retriever dogs (March and others 1993), Peruvian Paso horses (Gundlach and others 1993) and Hereford calves (Harper and others 1986). The primary cause of myoclonus in these reports was consistent with a deficit in glycine receptors in the CNS (Pierce and others 2001). Similar conditions based on clinical findings and the lack of pathological lesions have not been reported in sheep.
