Hey folks.......... The day your surgeon is standing over you with his scalpel in hand is not the day you want him to say.......... "Oooops............. I missed...." Nor do you want your new GSD puppy client in the office with a veterinarian who remarks, off-handed and off-the-cuff, still without documented medical evidence, still unsubstantiated, uninformed and not proven, only suggested and just hinted at............. this possible "diagnosis"....... "The puppy walks funny." What is the Latin term learned at veterinarian school for that, I wonder ? =;-D Maybe we should consider a discourse on ways to protect the breeder ??

After all, to convict someone of a crime, 12 out of 12 have to agree. If there are only 11, there is no conviction. This is not a court of law, this is medical science. Why does that not make me feel better? These are the people with knives inside us when we are sick.
