Because there are now two discussion groups on SM where I either moderate or am admin, and as a consequence, the SM forum here on Cavalier Talk is no longer the directly-linked support forum from the SM Infosite ( www.sm.cavaliertalk.com ) it makes sense to me to have this board's forum focus on what many now feel are the two big health issues in the breed-- MVD (mitral valve disease) and SM.
I hope people won't see this as a dilution of the importance of an SM discussion space. I do think both issues are equally important and MVD -- which affects almost 100% of cavaliers eventually -- remains the health issue that will touch most of us most immediately.
To reiterate:
The email list resources on SM are:
General SM discussion list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CKCS-SM/
SM Support List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CKCS-SM-support/
The email list resource on MVD is:
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/mvdincavaliers
Our forum as its new title indicates is for both SM and MVD topics/support/information.
