I think my pup has SM! I've been in deniale since I got him. I kept hoping that it was just a reaction to the shampoo I first used on him but I have since bathed him with hypoallergenic shampoo and have left it for a while to see if it would get better..and it hasn't. After looking at videos today and doing more research I am convinced that he has it. He scratches at his ear, bites his feet a lot and sometimes cries out for no apparent reason. The one thing he doesn't do though is he doesn't seem to be bothered on a leash. Since this is a progressive thing I very worried his will get bad since he is only 4.5 months old.
I can take him back to the breeder since she gave me a 5 year health guarantee but oviously we're already very attached to him. But if this is SM and it gets worse then I might have to put him down in a few years which would be even worse for the family.
Any advice would be appriciated!
