Mailing list for owners of dogs with Symmetrical Lupoid Onychodystrophy.
SLO is an autoimmune disease of dogs which can cause severe claw problems in otherwise healthy dogs. It is characterised by the loss of claws from more than one paw - eventually all claws may be lost.
Other symptoms may include: receding quicks, infection (often with a strong smell), claw splitting (usually down the back of the claw), pain, distorted claws and lameness.
