The team of Petra Ford and her fabulous Lab, Tyler, won the Obedience 
competition at Crufts. Hooray for a breathtaking performance. Petra had to 
totally retrain her boy for this competition. Totally different than our 
Obedience venue.
Congratulations Petra and Tyler from the USA. Here is a video of some of their 
performance.

Spine issues and OFA Hips are totally unrelated.  IS this her diagnosis, has 
she been xrayed?  How long has she had this issue?  According to this site, 
it DM CAN occur in younger dogs, a simple blood test can confirm, normal age is 
between 4-14.

Has anyone ever heard of Spinal Myelopathy in young dogs, e.g. 2 and 1/2 
years?  I have friends who have a 2 1/2 year old shepherd who is showing the 
signs and they are baffled.  The dog is a female and  otherwise fine, but has 
been wobbley on her back end.  The typical walk, walk, flop over to one side 
that we know.  Any comments?  Both parents are OFA certified and so are 
grandparents for several generations??? Claire DrosdickAvion Kennels

Is she anywhere near where there could be raccoons????  There is  something 
called "coon fever" that mimics neurological symptoms and comes on  very 
suddenly. (Unlike DM). Apparently dogs pick up a virus from  racoon urine and 
it affects their nervous system.  Very difficult to  diagnose, supportive 
care.

for financially-challenged companion pet owners; programs that help the 
homeless, seriously ill, homebound, or disabled care for their pets; companion 
pet food banks; education programs that directly relate to keeping companion 
pets and their people together; behavior modification programs to correct 
inappropriate behaviors so that pets may remain in the home; and disaster 
preparedness and response. Grants range from $1,000 to $20,000. Requests are

There was a good article in the Review a month or so back. That itself is  
enough to join the Parent Club, and get the Review. It talked about 
treatment,  and also outlined the dangers of breeding without the DM test. We 
would 
not  breed without it.

It also talked about how often DM is misdiagnosed and how seldom it shows  
up in young dogs.  In the past the diagnosis was made when nothing else was  
found to explain the problems.  That may well be still being done.
