There's more, but that's what I remember off the top of my head. Will email you audio file when I get it!
Yes, my Pearl also has this autoimmune disease and my vet has never suggested that we remove her teeth. Hers also seems to be from a food allergy and she does best on a grain free diet. Good luck.
