No, I read that as meaning at least half the dogs lived much longer and that hope is very important to me.
Isn't that a bit like saying dogs with cushings only live 2 years? We all know what bollocks that is! There are so many here as living proof that any dog has the capacity to beat the odds and so many do, living full healthy lives, after all, isn't Leslie's Squirt 17 or something now? There is no time limit, thats one thing I found, you cant know in advance so don't worry about it!

Anyway, glad to know Flynn's itchies are getting a little better. I've used cortivance on Ozzie for about 5 years now, on and off as needed, its great stuff. In fact I use it on myself pretty often too - so much for veterinary use only, it's good stuff! Just ride out the season, we are in for a really bad one this year too, I've got the spray ready and waiting. Oz hates it being sprayed on him too, but the result is worth it.
