I hope I'm right.
If I sounded like I was being motherly I apologize. I type so matter of fact. |
I have to say i would much prefer a liver shunt pup to a pup with allergies from a poor immune system from an inbred line at least with a liver shunt pup there is surgery and a light at the end of the tunnel but a dog with a poor immune system there is no light just constant balancing act trying to keep them comfortable - very sad and this is from inbreeding as it is proven it will hurt the immune system by inbreeding so this is one thing I strongly feel is wrong. The LS there is no genetic marker yet but dr tobias and dr centers i think are trying to figure it out and hopefully they can.
Having dealt with allergies for 5 1/2 years and also hypothyroid both being immune mediated diseases it is a nightmare - itching, skin infections, and drugs - so unfair to the dog and owner as it is very stressful
