Many have other issues as well...there's not too much knowledge as there isn't a whole bunch of them to relate to. I know my sweet boy did not lose all of his hair but yet has the most beautiful silky white hair, which is very unusual. But, his immune system is very low. We have to keep him away from everyone and everything. He isn't allowed to leave our home unless its a vet visit or just to car ride around town. He loves to get out, and is so very sociable, but his health is too fragile. We even have to limit who comes into our home with the fear of what they may track in so any and all company is asked to remove their shoes. Im shocked that someone is advertising blues and selling any pups in that litter....all carry the gene. I would love more info so that I may educate them!! |
Thank you so much for clarifying this condition. I think there was some confusion about the prognosis and diagnostic criteria re: this condition on another thread (

I'm glad to learn your little Mack is doing well after his procedure. Hugs and kisses to him x
