Journey has finally had back to back negative fecal test! Been working on them since August 2020. She got to and in the yard finally it was a great day. Next is the 6 month check. For those of you fighting the battle there is light it took us 15 months but we made it two negatives in a row. I am so happy and she will be to each time she gets to play in yard without a long walk before to make sure she was empty . Thanks for all the advice and support along the way. Congratulations! No wonder you’re celebrating. Garden zoomies for everyone! Quote Buddy Molly 🌈 5/11/10-10/10/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleptogrey Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) The problem was MDR1 sensitivity. It's common in some breeds- such as wind sprites. But occasionally/rarely a GH and other sighthounds might have it. They were using the recommended GH protocol. Multi-Drug Resistance Gene (MDR) codes for a protein that is responsible for protecting the brain by transporting potentially harmful chemicals away. In certain breeds, a mutation occurs in the MDR1 gene that causes sensitivity to Ivermectin, Loperamide, and a number of other common drugs.
