Information given to the Health Watch is confdential. Our vet Ruth Wadman Taylor, is willing to give help and guidance wherever possible. Opinions on genetic and hereditary matters require the expertise of a trained geneticist. This would be very expensive and would not be undertaken lightly. At present not enough data has been collected to approach a professional but progress is being made. Collecting information is the only way that it is possible to know whether a problem is widespread or a 'one-off'.
