That is correct Carol, I have not bred her since. She was spayed and placed in a pet home where she lives to this day. The EPI puppy was diagnosed at one year of age. It was devastating to his owners to watch their puppy become skin and bones and despite medication be unable to save him. I replaced the puppy of course. I don't consider this trivial, nor do I consider Pannus a trivial problem. To the pet owner having to buy medication and the nuisance of have to give it everyday does not do any good for the breed at all. Not to mention, if you are an ethical breeder and offer a replacement puppy; you would soon wouldn't have any puppies left to sell!
