I am so sorry about Irina. It must have been so hard for you.

I don't think his form has affected his blood. His is attacking his skin and mucus membranes. I don't know if it's all related and will lead to that? I'll have to research more. I didn't realize (as I am finding out more and more) that this could be life-threatening. A person on the liver-d board had a dog that was at death's door with it, but it finally came under control before it was fatal. However, it was not her liver disease dog. Having liver-d makes treating difficult. Killian's hasn't spread too far yet. I believe it only just started right after his last dental, a very few months ago. He had a spot on his side, the top of his head, his ears and now his nasal cavities and top of the nose. Maybe kinda scary....now that I know more.
