[nagdu] Shepherds and Pannus

[Darla Rogers]

Oh dear, Jimmy; when I first read this, I was thinking panno--growing
pains--but  no; I have not heard of this eye condition.
]	I forget where shep if rom, but you may want to notify y9our school
since this is a hereditary condition; I'd assume they would keep records on
this.]
	I pray treatment can keep him with you until a more reasonable
retirement age.

Good day fellow NAGDU family,
	It was a sad day for me and my puppy. Shep, my shepherd, has not
been himself the past couple weeks. A few friends mentioned that his eyes
looked very red and one eye seemed to have a slight cloudy smudge. I took
Shep to the vet today to find out  he has Pannus, a hereditary eye immune
disease.I had not heard of it before. There is no cure, but with treatment
of ointment and eye drops, the disease can be limited in worsening. Have any
of you dealt with Pannus? I am concerned that I may have to retire Shep
early if his condition does not improve. Shep will be 3 in September.
Best,
Jimmy and Shep
