Linda Glad to hear of Teddy's progress. Very interested also to hear about the acupuncture. I have heard that it can be helpful in the healing process after...
Michelle Surgery outcome depends on many factors, one of the main ones being the severity of SM before the surgery. Another important one is whether scar...
Thankfully Teddy is showing few signs, I just keep my fingers crossed that it continues. Every once in a while he will turn around quickly like he is trying...
I think it is important to emphasise that breeders who produce dogs with SM should not be viewed as having a bad reputation. And that -- while I am definitely...
I wholeheartedly agree with your posting. I informed the breeder of my dogs and while being very upset about it, she could not have been more supportive. It...
It occured to me reading Karlin and Moira's posts that a pet owner who discovers that his/her dog has SM has so much to contend with and come to terms with. I...
So I have emailed the breeder twice and gotten no response. If I were to find out that this breeder was selling and saying that there was no known instance of...
Michelle If the breeder won't acknowledge your messages, there's not much you can do to make her. I hope Ronnie continues to improve. Best wishes to you both...
I agree with Moira -- you are unlikely to ever get a response, but you have been responsible in informing her. If you believe she may not have received the...
Karlin Are you saying that dogs graded A are still producing puppies with SM? I ask this because I am in the dreadful position of having to have my darling...
Hi, I am a breeder in Australia. I have bred dogs with SM. I give my pet people information on MVD and SM in their puppy pack, and I ask them to sign a...
Oh Moira I am so, so sorry -- what a dreadful situation and this is truly the hardest decision to make, even when you are sure it is the right time. My...

Dear Moira I'm so very sorry to hear about your darling Ben. I have been through this and I know how heartbreaking it is. You are doing the right thing for...
After talking with breeders and puppy buyers, and in recognition that it is very hard for puppy buyers to connect with breeders (and vice versa) who are...
Fantastic, Karlin. This is a much needed reference. Thank you so much for setting it up. Carol Glos,UK--- In CKCS-SM-support@yahoogroups.com, Karlin...
Bet Hargreaves has asked me to crosspost this post for her, as she has hoped to start some discussion and thinking about this campaign. The magazine is Dog's...
Hello. Our 3 year old Maltese was recently diagnosed with SM, and my research on the subject has taken me to this support group. So, I hope you don't mind an...
Hello Kathy and welcome! I'm sorry your Spring has been diagnosed with SM. :( My Cavalier, Rory, was diagnosed a year and a half ago. I tried acupuncture and...
Thank you, Kendall. I am glad to hear that Rory is doing so well. Spring was prescribed Methylprednisolone + Omeprazole, which have not set well with her and...
Hi, I just wanted to check in and see if anyone else had this experience. I've had Lucky who is 2 years old and probably has SM but can't be MRI'd on...

Dear Mary: I am sorry to hear that Baxter has SM. It's heartbreaking. Did you see a veterinary neurologist? I think that the more information that you...
Hi, Kathy, thanks for your reply. We did see a veterinary neurologist just last week, he is the one that gave me the SM diagnosis. I know that an MRI is the...
