Ehlers Danlos
syndrome (EDS) reported varied animal species is a rare hereditary collagen
disorder standing out  reduced strength
of skin being hyperextensible, velvety and fragile. Diagnosis of also termed
dermatosparaxis or cutaneous asthenia in animals is based on  classic clinical symptoms, skin extensibility
index with histopathologic examination included thin, unregular seperated
collagen bundles. In the presented case series enrolled different ages (1-3
years old 4 cats; and 1-5 years old 6 dogs) with both gender cats (2 males, 2
females) and dogs (4 males, 2 females) has been conferred serum 25 (OH) D3
levels associations. Just as dog and cats diagnosed with EDS found lower
vitamin D levels (total 8 of 10) are considered, it has recommended in cat and
dogs with EDS taking into account of vitamin D deficiency as well as some other
nutritional deficiencies and giving oral vitamin D supplements with safety as
human medicine.

Farklı hayvan
türlerinde bildirilen ve derinin elastikiyetinde azalma, deride aşırı uzama,
yumuşama bulgular gösteren Ehlers Danlos Sendromu (EDS) nadir görülen kalıtsal
kollojen hastalığıdır. Hayvanlarda dermatosparaksis ve kutanöz astenia olarak
da bilinen bu hastalığın tanısı klasik klinik bulgular, cilt uzayabilirlik
indeksi ile histopatolojide kalın, düzensiz ayrılmış kollojen demetlerinin
görülmesine dayanmaktadır. Farklı yaş (n=4 kedi; 1-3 yaşlı ile n=6 köpek 1-5
yaşlı), her 2 cinsiyetten kedi (2 erkek, 2 dişi) ve köpeğin (4 erkek, 2 dişi)
dahil edildiği olgu serisinde serum 25 (OH) D3 seviyeleri ile ilişkileri
sunulmaktadır. EDS tanısı konulan kedi ve köpeklerde bulunan düşük vitamin D
seviyeleri (toplamda 8/10) düşünüldüğünde EDS’ li kedi ve köpeklerde diğer
beslenme eksikliklerinin yanı sıra vitamin D yetersizliğinin de göz önüne
alınması gerektiği ve beşeri hekimlikte olduğu gibi oral vitamin D takviyesinin
güvenle verilebileceği önerilmektedir.
