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 |
I disagree Debbie. This is like saying I'd prefer a heart attack over a heart attack or cancer over HIV. Bad is bad, it's all terrible. I wouldn't wish any of it on anyone! Not all live through it. Although these women are remarkable in their professions, they are not God. I pity the nightmares you've endured with your babies. Most people wouldn't do all you've done. I've said it many times, you're an angel. Your pets are fortunate to have the best home they could have!
