Actually Lupus can be fatal if it goes into the internal organs, mainly
kidneys, heart, brain or lungs. I have not heard of Lupus being fatal in
relation
to infections (except fungal), unless the dog were on a high rate of
Prednisone.. That is not very common and it can be controlled with drugs along
with
close monitoring.
