Do you have an good resources other than the one from the RSPCA that we can share with everyone else regarding this nasty infection. So many people an still uninformed about so much and are new dog owners, this is good info for them to know. |
Small dogs stop growing around a year old. They might still "fill out" after that but they will normally reach there full body frame size by a year. Dogs do not have to have a weakend immune system to get it so the dog having a weak immune system or a healthy environment makes no difference.
