<p>This looks as though this is going to turn into a major research topic and subsequent paper with the assistance of some vets who have taken a real interest in this. If I come across any immediately interesting snippets, or I am sure in time require questionnaires filled in, and even case histories from anyone who is willing to submit information, I will add to this thread. I don't have any idea how long this study will take, as this is still in the very early stages of discussions, but it…</p>

<p>Someone has just pm'd me mentioning parasites. I have a real feeling that parasites may be part of the root cause of malasorption and a compromised immunity. There is more and more work going on in humans on this aspect. The interesting thing is that all my Setters who became ill came to me with a worm load to start off with. My healthiest one is the one who's breeder followed all the correct worming protocols! The problem is with parasites in dogs and humans is that some of them can bury…</p>
<p>Someone has just pm'd me mentioning parasites. I have a real feeling that parasites may be part of the root cause of malasorption and a compromised immunity. There is more and more work going on in humans on this aspect. The interesting thing is that all my Setters who became ill came to me with a worm load to start off with. My healthiest one is the one who's breeder followed all the correct worming protocols! The problem is with parasites in dogs and humans is that some of them can bury themselves so deep within the body that they remain undetected. At some point someone is going to draw the entire picture together. It is happening. The Truth About Cancer campaign is supporting one of the research projects on this very issue. More information will come out on this I am sure.</p> Thank you for the link Fran.…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2015-11-10:865021:Comment:11613832015-11-10T08:28:51.216ZSue Patersonhttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/SuePaters0n
<p>Thank you for the link Fran. Who could know all these intricacies. I much admire your tenacity in trying to get to the bottom of the health issues of your dogs and then the way you share your hard work. I would be interested to hear how it all goes.</p>

<p>Yes, Fran, I know because I have a deficiency in it myself! And you're right, why should our dogs be any different. But the bloat connection to it, I would never have guessed. I hope everyone reads the link as it will be very interesting to those who have never heard or thought of it. Keep us updated on the test/results/treatment. I may get my boy tested depending on how you get on with Tally. Best wishes and thanks for posting.</p>
