A friend of mine who is a veterinarian just saw a litter of 7 week old GSDs with one that was diagnosed with a diaphragmatic hernia. One of the other pups is having similar signs. Does anyone out there have any information if this is genetic or has seen it in certain breedings? Please email me privately. Thanks, Katie Halfen Casamoko Shepherds www.casamoko.com _________________________________________________________________ Get more done, have more fun, and stay more connected with Windows Mobile®. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/119642556/direct/01/ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
