Of what I have learned the GSD gets a DM similar to MS in
people and the other breeds get DM similar to
ALS known as Lou Gehrig’s disease

I looked at my email and
saw I forgot to say that diagnostic testing is 99%

But, there is still the around 1% that
weren't...
I am just waiting for enough
evidence to accumulate that PROVES the MSU DM
test wasn't the "be all, end all"
test for DM; that there are (at least)
two
types as we all know. Perhaps then the funding will begin
again to
discover the genes for GSD type DM,
so our breed can have a genetic test...
I still feel like the GSD as a breed got slighted and cut out
of that
deal... It sure was a surprise when the
sire of my OFA N/N DM tested dog died of DM
(confirmed by necropsy) at 13! Um...
Shouldn't she be an obligate
carrier?!?
