So sorry to hear this. Here is a link to some information on research being done on this condition, and they desperately need blood samples from affected dogs to help them to track the gene responsible.

Also mentioned in the article is the GSD Information Group
and if you google this you will find a contact email for Dorothy Cullum, who will be able to give you lots of information and support. Please do get in touch, this is a dreadful condition and the experiences of others may help you and your dog.
