This dog has not had the DNA test done to see if she has this mutant gene. Being $60.00 per test, I can't do all the dogs at once, and have to a 1-2 here and there..... I did just get more test kits in the mail recently so I can have some of them checked....

As for swollen lymph glands, no she does not have any of that (as of Tues. when she was at the vets) and she acts prefectly normal.. she also acts like her normal self, is a very happy, active puppy.... plays all the time, isn't lethargic, she doesn't act like there is a problem....

She was on antibiotics for a while, when I was using the goodwinol on her, however now that I think about it, I am thinking maybe I ended those antibiotics to soon... I wasn't doing both at the sametime very long... It wasn't even 5 days after I stopped those, that she got all this crusty stuff starting.... so she is back on antibiotics (a different antibiotic) and it is looking better... I do have alittle bit of the goodwinol stuff left, so I could try that again for a while.... and will start Fish Oil and Vit E. tomorrow...

Thanks for the info!! and I will try some of what you have suggested. I don't expect it to heal in a couple weeks... but I was just looking for some (even slight) improvment. IF we try Mitaban, I'll go for just diluted mitaban applied to just that area.

Thanks again for the information!
