To: Not gonna take it anymore

My two shepherds are 3 years old today (brother and sister) and “sis” is having right rear leg problems, She sort of skips when walking. She has plenty of energy and runs and plays all the time. The only time you can tell there is a problem is when she is walking. We have exrayed her hips and knees and they look great. I have been reading about Degenerative Myelopathy and pray it is’nt DM. I have an appointment with her Dr. on Monday for further action.
I ran accross a web site that does tests on DNA to check for DM. They send you a kit and you return it to them for diagnosis. Its the only place I saw that indicated they can definitely diagnosis the desease.
Has anyone ever encountered this or used an orginaziation as this?
