If this were an adult dog, I might consider that over vaccination was involved.
But this is a young dog that suddenly had swollen joints. He had blood drawn
and was checked for tick born disease as well as for lupus. Other standard
blood work was done too of course.
He tested positive for lupus and not for anything else. He has had an
immediate response to prednisone, the first dose improved his condition.
He is being tapered down after 3 doses of 40 mg. The does will be dropped 10
mg at a time after about 4 days on each level. The hope is that 10 mg a day or
even every other day will be enough to keep the problem under control. I will
also be seeking holistic methods of dealing with this. I have a vet's name.
My interest is in any info I can get on the genetic connection, if there is
one, and for any holistic treatments that anyone is partial to.
Any human based info will do too, as it is the same problem in both dogs and
humans.

Carolyn,
How wise of you to think of speaking to your friend about your little Corgi.
Fantastic results !!
(always wanted one, we see them a lot at horse shows)
It is well known that over vax compromises the immune system and not only
the Parvo is at fault.
You may find this article of interest ( it is only 9 pages long lol )

This time in or lives is so different from when we acquired our first GSD in
'58.
Cheers from here,

Hi, Shelia, I had a Corgi puppy several years ago with Lupus. At
the time my vets did not know what it was and nothing they did helped.
I called Chuck Kruger, describing the symptoms, etc. , and he
immediately diagnosed it, talked to my vets prescribing treatment,
and the puppy was cured very quickly. Chuck said that it was caused
by over-vaccination (parvo vaccine) BTW, the treatment was Prednesone.
