Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS)

Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS), also known as Hereditary Neutropenia, is an inherited disease which causes a low number of neutrophils to circulate in the blood. As neutrophils are necessary for destroying bacteria, a low number of them causes affected dogs to eventually die from infections they cannot stop.
