Thanks for this information! I have to buy commercially prepared food, but it is really high quality. But I will be checking now for the salt content. Lynn...
Hi, Jamie took another mild turn this morning. He stayed standing for this one, unlike others. I took 3 short videos of it and have uploaded the shortest one...
Poor Jamie; thanks for posting the videos. I don't know what differences there might be between SM and EFS seizures and whether EFS dogs tend to scratch their...
Hi Karlin, We have an appointment with a neurologist this Friday. I have 2 more longer video clips of this turn and will take the camera. It has been suggested...

As you can imagine yesterday was not a good day and today has felt even worse, I am finding myself watching Danny, thinking have I missed some symptoms,...
Hi Moira: I am so sorry you have theses results back from scans. It is probably not any comfort to know that researchers working in this area believe probably...
Karlin Thank you so much for your reply, I think you are right about the shock value of an asymptomatic dog, I fully expected Danny to be clear whereas I...
Hi Moira, I am so very sorry to hear about your dear dogs. Three years ago our then 4 year old Cavalier Woody (the Wonder Dog) was diagnosed with SM. He had...

Dorothy: Thanks for this update -- her response is very informative and to me certainly makes sense and offers all of us interested in or dealing with this...
Well, Ronnie had his MRI here in Phoenix yesterday. It is definitely SM and a pretty bad case. His spinal cord is more than 50% blocked with the pressure of...
Hi Karlin, In a way I was disappointed that we have to live with not knowing but it was very reassuring to hear that carrying on as normal was not going to...
Hi Michelle, I am very sorry to hear that Ronnie is so badly affected and will certainly be praying his surgery goes well. It is good that he likes the...
Thanks for the encouraging words, Dorothy. You know your comment about the breeders though brings up a questions for me. I was reading through the new ...

It can be hard to think through what the guidelines are saying. :^) The table helps, but still, there is ongoing confusion between SM and CM and whether SM...
Of course; and you are very welcome here though sorry that an affected dog brings you here. We have some other breeds in the group already so you are not alone...
