Thank you for your reply. My mention of the amount of money I was able to donate with Cash and Animals was not to boast. I was just saying that it was harder for me to give money would I couldn't get an account of HOW, When and WHAT studies would be further done if more money was donated. I am sure Dr. Jacobson is a great vet. I have spoken with him several times. THE PROBLEM with IBD was that is SPREAD soooo quickly to ALL the small vets who have the WEB as their information of NEW diseases. It was apperant that IBD was a HUGE problem, and that it could WIPE out Collections in MASS distruction which coudln't be Further from the truth.

I understand that there is Pressure in the Research area to put out as much information as possible, but the IBD thing got WAY out of control, and many vets and Labs were diagnosing IBD before they really new anything about it other then the EARLY information which is soo outdated.

I wish the SAME kindof PUSH to get that certain SCARY INFO out would also be used to RECALL, or explain that is ISN'T what they thought, and they can relax a little bit.

IBD is NOT a Huge problem in my opinion. It can't be ignored, but it certainly shouldn't discourage people from purchasing Animals. Especailly animals that are of great value. I know you can say that I'm saying this with MY BEST interest at heart. However, I trully believe that. IBD is NOT hard to issolate and Get rid of, if you have the PROPER HUSBANDRY.

Thanks for your posts. I thought that was VERY interesting, and I wish you would post more.

IBD, IBD, IBD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This scare seems to circulate EVERYEAR, and it causes my IBS to start acting up. Better get some Peragoric. LOL
