This was sent to me by one of my rescue friends. Does anyone have any information on the problem this girls GSD has. I do not know where she is located or anything about the GSD.

This immune system disorder causes her to completely lose her nails. So far she has only had problems on her front paws. Whenever she loses a nail, she is in pain and doesnt want to stand. After she loses the nail she is fine, but the new nail growth is only a short brittle stub-not a normal nail. My vet is not very experienced with this. The fact is, I dont think many vets are. Ive been to six so far. Perhaps through your work, you may come across some people who have dealt with this disorder and may be able to recommend the best treatment. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
