fascinating....I have this and it was difficult enough to detect as a human, having to see specialists and have MRI's, let alone as a dog.

That's interesting TFN. Hope things work out well for you.

It's a reminder that so many of the conditions being referred to, in pedigree dogs, by the bandwagoners, are manifest in humans (& other dogs) as well.

So they're dramatic statements about the ills of purebred dogs, need to be tempered with, 'Compared with what?'

tfn - sorry to hear that - hope the outcome is good

Corrie - lots of franchises available :)

Steve - just thinking about syringo makes me feel as if I might have it.

There was no definitive diagnosis until dogs could be MRI --- and as the syrinxes regress - you might presume that has something to do with the flow of fluid, or not ---- who knows?

Mita - too right!!

I think there are too many people with too many agendas, each pushing their own barrow following PDE and illuminating things which are not a purebred dog thing. Many of these conditions are known in many or all breeds, including purebreds and in some cases, including humans. Not a "purebred" problem specfically.

Which is why I think, if we are buying into the debate, we need to read unbiased research.
