Golden with seizures from meningioma
My best friend just had an MRI scan today showing the cause of her 10 days of
seizures, a benign meningioma. We are going to have it operated on by a neurosurgeon tommorrow. I hope she lasts another few years, she is 11 now and otherwise acts half her age. Is there a way to check out dog breeding lines for these types of life threatening problems when you are going to adopt a puppy or for that fact to find breeds with the longest life span? If I ever get another dog after mine I want to delay this agony as long as p0ssible |

You may want to also post this in rec.pets.dogs.breeds - there are a few people there very knowledgeable in genetics and pedigree analysis who don't read this group. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

If I ever get another dog after mine I want to delay this agony as long as p0ssible I suggest you check the GRCA (Golden Retriever Club of America) site. The GRCA is involved in various research projects having to do with the health of goldens. |
