SUMMARY A demyelinating malacic disease involving the spinal cord of 7 Afghan Hounds was characterized by ataxia and progressive paralysis culminating in death. The age of onset varied from 3 to 13 months and the course of the disease from 2 to 6 weeks. Malacic changes were in the ventromedial portion of the spinal cord, extending from the caudal cervical to the cranial lumbar areas. Although the cause of the condition was not determined, a breed predisposition was suggested.
