It is therefore important, TODAY, from a medical point of view both the SICK dogs (DM/DM and Factor F) and the healthy but positive dogs (DM/DM but no factor F). So testing our dogs is important to help the research MORE than just avoiding to have sick dogs.

This was exactly the point Margo was trying to make. We don't know what the role of factor(s) "F" is in DM activation!
Until it's discovered (in the medical sense), all information can only be obtained from the owners and vets of DM symptoms affected dogs and it's a pity so few of them have the nerve to share it.

All the best to Lunatica. I'm sure she'll be fine!
