MDR1 Gene

What is dog multidrug sensitivity?

Dogs that have a mutation in the MDR1 gene, which inhibits their ability to remove certain drugs from the brain and can lead up to a buildup of toxins, may have severe adverse reactions to some common drugs, including seizures, tremors, disorientation, blindness, lack of muscle control or even death.

MDR1 And Drugs To Avoid

Aussies can carry a gene mutation called MDR1. Multi drug resistance. However, regardless of your aussie's status EVERY AUSSIE SHOULD BE TREATED AS IF THEY HAVE THE GENE! This is because even dogs without the gene mutation have been known to suffer severe reactions, including death, from the same drugs that effect dogs with MDR1. To be on the safe side, never give your aussie any drugs on this list.

Drugs to avoid:

Loperamide

Butorphanol

Acepromazine

Doxorubicin

Ondansetron

Paclitaxel

Ivermectin

Vinblastine

Domperidone

Vincristine

Moxidectin

Rifampicin

Doramectin

Selamectin

Digoxin

Etoposide

Mitoxantrone

Cyclosporin

Milbemycin oxime

Apomorph
