Still spreading the word.

Though I’ve not been hands on with Epi for years, I’m still keen to talk to vets about it. Yesterday I was at our local agricultural country show. I noticed an official with a Vet badge, so I talked to him about epi. He was aware of it in GSDs, but not in other breeds, so I corrected him, and mentioned epi4dogs. He said that UK vets rarely see it now, due to responsible breeders being aware of it. Vets still need to be told that it is in any breed for reasons other than genetics, otherwise these dogs with gut issues will not be diagnosed.
Talking to just one vet may encourage him/her to do his own reading, and to discuss it with others in the group practise. We can only hope, and continue to spread the word.
