[Woogie Man]

Not trying to be funny with the kindness thing. I've read some threads here and have seen the short jump from blunt to rude all too often. The information I got was from veterinary sources on the web. I've googled 'canine liver shunt' and 'canine MVD' and read from what seemed to be the best resources. This certainly doesn't qualify me as an expert but the info I've read is consistent from various sources so I would like you to explain how what I stated is 'untrue'. Regardless, I plan to study this condition more even though I've never had any of these issues with my dogs or their pups. Honestly, neither of the vets I've used nor any breeders I know have ever sounded the alarm so loudly about liver shunts as here. While familiar with what a liver shunt was, I had no real knowledge about them so I guess more study is in order. One question. Does anyone know of any studies comparing the incidence of liver shunt in line-bred dogs as opposed to open-pedigreed dogs? (kind replies only, please )
