Peanut's Disease

We are facing a tragedy in our pack. April's daughter Peanut, who was born last spring, has an autoimmune disease, causing her own body to attack her eyes and pigmentation. This is why she has trouble with her skin and recently also her eyes. The disease is not hereditary, but exist among several dog breeds and also among humans. It is due to a mutation. The disease cannot really be treated, the effects can only be surpressed for a while. She is already over sensitive to light. We will not have her with us for much longer, but she will always have a place in the heart of everyone of us.
