A breeder I know in Canada had this in one dog.. I had never heard of it 
before.. She put the dog down and I thought it was harsh at the time but now 
Im not so sure.. It was a kennel situation but Im not sure how much that is 
influencing these sypmtoms... Has anyone ever had it in a one or two dog 
household? How about pet households.. If this is the case that is incurable 
we definetley shouldnt be just rehoming them in to pet households that will 
love them and have to deal with this. I believe every dog should experience 
a pet household though.. Loved completely....
