You might try posting your question on the alt.med.veterinary newsgroup.
Maybe someone there could point you in the right direction.

Hi,this is my first time posting, but the posts I have read have been
very informative and I am hopeful someone can point me in the right
direction.

We have a 9 year old GSD male,neutered,who is our baby. His name is
Jagr. We've had him since he was a puppy, and along with that, all his
many medical problems. As taxing as they have been financially, I
wouldn't trade him for anything, because what he gives back is one
thousand times more valuable.(usually!) However, most recently, his
situation has deteriorated. I could go on and on (and on) about
everything we've done, but mostly, I am trying to find detailed
information about the condition "Progressive posterior paresis" which
I have seen listed as a common GSD health issue. I cannot seem to
find any info that goes into detail about causes, symptons,
treatments, etc. I even searched on the Tufts Vet School for info but
no luck (and its possible I didn't search in the right place.) If
anyone could point me in the direction of a good website or resource
for canine medical issues, or a GSD website, I would be thankful.
Thanks so much!
Julie
