Has anyone ever had an issue with this? We just took our 4 month old puppy to the vet (emergency situation....as owners, we were freaking out) this morning and were told she has the early signs of this disease. One day she was acting like her usual self, the next morning she wouldn't move and walk around at all. Just wanted to lay. We are looking for ways to make her as comfortable as possible, if anyone had a problem with this. We feel so bad for her. Sad

**EDIT** We do know it is not life threatening, but are still worried.
Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear this. I had missed this thread all together, and being a new mastiff mother myself I have no experience to fall back on to give you any advice at all. I just know how hard it is to have your baby sick. I'll have to look up the condition to inform myself. I hope things will work out for her, she is a sweet little thing.

I'm sorry. I do not have any personal experience with this either, but I do recommend reading this: http://www.greatdanelady.com/articles/fe...or_hod.htm
