None of these articles say that it is lethal. Afflicted dogs are more prone to skin infections, but the condition is manageable. I'm telling this so you don't worry. Again, I don't think your dog is blue born.
So very kind and good of you to provide your research and your reassurance and positivity for SweetChloe. Really, really nice.
