Beagle Dog

Intestinal Cobalamin Malabsorption Beagle (IGS-BEA)

Micah Halpern · April 1, 2022 ·

Imerslund-Grasbeck Syndrome (IGS), also known as intestinal cobalamin malabsorption is a disorder in which a dog is unable to absorb adequate levels of Vitamin B12.  Absorption of Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin which occurs in the small intestine is inadequate in dogs affected with IGS and leads to a deficiency in this vitamin.  Dogs that inherit this disease are born with a small amount of vitamin B12 that is quickly depleted and leads to symptoms of the disease within 6-12 weeks after birth.  These symptoms can include failure to thrive and gain weight, lack of appetite, anemia and lethargy. Symptoms will typically appear to intensify after eating.  IGS can be managed with regular vitamin B12 diet supplementation, however without treatment this disease can progress to permanent brain and nervous system damage.
