Thank you very much for this information. I am no doubt behind the times in this area..as I have not been faced with it much. I did have a girl in the early 90's with CT..it seemed to come on her after she had a hernia repaired. She was 8 yrs. and my vet said he thought the incubation tube caused it.
Her mother and other siblings were not effected by CT.

I am going to read about the protein angle..I wonder if it is a lack of protein in the diet or the inability to absorb it? If it is strictly dietary, a breeder who feeds a quality diet can avoid it..otherwise they can not of course.

If Chewy is the "odd man out" in his litter, then it is a reminder we only have so much control over Mother Nature. I do find Chewie's type to be a terrific pet..full of stuff and lots of fun.
