Thanks for the link. I found tons of information online as well. What I'm most interested in finding out is whether or not there are members here who've had this "disease" with a pet and how he/she was cared for.

Again, I'm doing my due diligence (I like to plan and prepare) so I know what I'm in for in the event this is Romeo's diagnosis.
