Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC) is a genetic syndrome, predominantly occurring in Labrador Retrievers but also seen in Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and Curly Coated Retrievers. Affected Dogs show signs of muscle weakness, incoordination, and life-threatening collapse when participating in strenuous exercise or activity. Affected dogs can tolerate mild to moderate exercise, but just 5 to 20 minutes of strenuous activity, or even extreme excitement such as that seen in field trials or hunt tests, can induce weakness or collapse. Dogs Affected with EIC usually cannot continue with intense retriever training, but can live normal lives as house pets.
