Anyone Heard Of This -

[dandybrush]

apparently a dog can get it from too much exercise as a puppy they say fatigue plays a big factor

I know a 6 year old dog who has just been diagnosed with this, and am now concerned (I know my boy is only 2) as when my boy was a baby we used to play for hours at the dog park...he was often buggered

does anyone know anything about this? if i can prevent it happening to raz with supplements etc. (i am a major worry wart over my baby)

your opinions and thoughts would be appreciated

I heard about this in humans and was told it's caused by a virus. One person I know who contracted it woke up with half his face paralysed - couldn't blink so he had to use eye drops, couldn't eat properly because he had no control over the muscles in his jaw/mouth/throat. He was prescribed quartazone (excuse the spelling) and some other drugs.

On the bright side it is temporary ie couple of months. This person had a really bad dose of the flu just prior to contracting it.
