Hi, One of the Rescues that I placed about 4-5 yrs ago has come up with this..Lupoid Syndrome. It is apparently a form of Lupus, and the dogs toe nails are falling out and has very sore feet. The vet that he got the diagnosis from said that the dog is lacking in Vit. B's and Niacin. They are supplementing that now, but does anyone know of the prognosis and if the dog will be OK? She has always been a super healthy dog for them and they are going to try everything and anything to help her. Thanks in advance, Tari Kridler Home of 2003 Amer & Can GVX Kridler's Ruby @ http://www.kridlersgermanshepherds.com (Ruby x Bailey Dau's New Picts) & the New List http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CHGermanShepherdShowDogsList/join (where pictures, brags and selling is allowed) ________________________________________________________________________ Check out AOL.com today.
