DM
Have you contacted Texas A&M to ask then about trental. They do treatment testing on shelties that have DM. Have you contacted Dr Rees that use to be in charge of the DM research, if anyone would know they would. They say in their studies that the genric drug is not as effective.

I think it is so sad that Sara doesn't get to do therapy anymore.. I also would have thought that it would be a great way to educate people. It used to make me cry when people would look at Gus with disgust...then i realized that they were the ones missing out on the most amazing little guy!
I explain Gus' condition to anyone who asks.. before when he was so sick , and he had open wounds all over, it was really hard for people to want to pet him... he looked like it hurt... but now , people often ask about his freckle face. I tell them about his condition.
gus is very mellow and sweet and very unassuming. Everyone who has met him agrees that there is something so very special about him... a sweetness... he really is my heart dog!
I managed to get my hands on the generic and starting tomorrow, Gus will be getting that . I pray that it works...
The Trental manufacturer tells me it has a release day mid july... but i dont believe them. I have asked them outright if they are discontinuing the product and they tell me no... but again, i am not really believing them... there is something wierd going on ... I really pray they do not discontinue this med... it has been a miracle for Gus.
No one has used any alternative methods for this condition that do not involve steriods or worse, Immuran? I am all ears!
