Please watch the dates on the topics you are posting under. Some are posting to discussions from 2007, 2010, etc.
Some can get very long. Always a good idea to read through them if you think they may apply to information you are looking for.
It is better to start a new, current thread with your questions or concerns.
As far as I know, actual Vets do not frequent these forums. There are those of us with collective years of experience in dogs, medical conditions, etc and try to help as much as we can.
Since we all learn from each other, "please" return to the Forum with updated.
Thanks!!
