A Very Useful Site!!!!
I just got finished looking over the web site that you mentioned. I found 5 disorders(at least) that Rusty has had. Right now, the vet is trying to discern whether he has Cushings Disease, Hypothyroidism, or Diabetes Insipidous. He drinks and eats continuously, and is inactive and lost most of the hair on his body. Although I only bought Rusty as a companion, the people who sold him to me were evasive when I asked them about reoccurring problems. Rusty has had 3 eye operations, tumor operations, plus many other tests well totally over $10,000.00. But, I do not regret getting him. And, I am lucky that I was the one who did get him. Although Rusty has had many problems, he still has a heart of gold, and has shown me more strength than any other human being could ever have. I do agree that dogs with genetic problems should not be bred, but I still think they deserve a chance at life in a loving home.
