One bitch was the common denominator. . It was, and is, the worst thing that has ever happened to me in dogs. It was incurable, interminable, devastating and horrific. One dog had to be euthanized after breaking his hip, having fell while frantically spinning. They would only stop spinning to eat, and then continue until they dropped from exhaustion. One was placed with my daughter(and he stopped), another was placed in a wonderful home where he was shown, and finished. He had to be watched continuously. All these dogs had raw hairless tails, and anxious, expressions as they stared at their tails before resuming spinning. I have no idea what it was, what caused it, or why me! One started at 3 months, one at 5 months, and one at 14 months! The one at 14 months had been suffering from pano...who knows? If I had it again, I would be totally devastated. I was not going to get into this thread, but others on the list have hinted about how awful it can be, and I wanted to validate those experiences.
