Abstract
Five cases of hypoadrenocorticism in young related Nova Scotia duck to lling retrievers are discussed. Two were littermates and the others sh ared one or more common ancestors. No specific mode of inheritance was determined. Clinical and laboratory findings typical of hypoadrenocor ticism were observed. Further documentation will be required to confri m a breed predisposition.
