To all those that responded to our cry for help, we wanted to  let you how 
things are progressing since my friend's visit to Cornell.   Here is what they 
came away with from the soft tissue vet.  This is the  first email I received 
from my friend Karen:
 
The vet said that Vito doesn't have a horrible case and were  going to treat 
it with Cyclosporin and either Protopic or another  ointment.  The vet said he 
has seen worse cases than his...I don't know how  good that makes me feel 
because his is pretty nasty.  I'll tell you  something, I am researching all 
about the nutritional requirements of the German  Shepherd dog and hope to some 
day feed them a complete holistic diet using no  kibble whatsoever.   I am 
really on a mission here...I've spent  countless hours on the computer and am 
waiting for four books to come in the  mail.
 
Here's the response Karen wanted me to post to the list  members for taking 
the time to care:
 
Thank you so very much...it was so  comforting to know that there are people 
out there who cared enough to take the  time and let me know their trials, 
tribulations, and roads traveled...the  people, the web sites and overall 
concern...it really made me feel so warm and  fuzzy!  This is not an easy 
illness to 
deal with...there is so much that is  not known...so much gray area...it seems 
like this is really trial and  error...but we love our furry children so 
dearly and we will most certainly go  broke to save our Vito!!!  Lucky for us 
that 
Cornell is a mere 6 hour walk  around the block...to have such a terrific vet 
hospital in the same state is  such a blessing.  Hopefully in time we will 
get this in remission and Vito  will live a long, long healthy life.
