    My girl has a probably clear test by OFA. I am taking her to the vet in a couple days because she is loosing weight and her coat is poor. she is not excessively thirsty or acting like she is sick. Can the genetic test be wrong? Has any one heard of this? Any thoughts. thank you

    The more data that is in the data base, the better people can use the that information as this is a Linkage test only… and errors can be made either human or test....

    @jessi76: another vac I didn't see on your list is Lyme. Ask your vet about it IF tics are prevelant in your area. where I live, ALOT of dogs are coming down with Lyme disease (spread by deer tics), so I didn't even think twice about getting my dog the vaccine. although we keep him on a flea & tic preventative, the vaccine is another added precaution. like I said though, only if tics are an issue in your area. No, they don't seem to be a big deal here, the worst "pest" we have aside from fleas are chiggers or you may know of them as sand fleas. Thanks for you help.
