So maybe they can eventually stop it. For Dobes and humans.

My God, this is great news.  What a relief this would be.  I know that everyone of us that has Dobermanns is praying this will eventually give our kids a longer life.

When I read this, what I highlighted, I got tears in my eyes. 

 

"a naturally-occurring molecule called dAPT (2-Deoxyadenosine triphosphate) restored normal function in cardiac muscle cells taken from dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)."

 

Bay just had her yearly and the vet told me she hears a murmur- grade 2- she said it's probably the beginning of DCM...I'm trying real hard to remember Budrow lived to be 10 with his grade 5 murmur. Maybe in my lifetime they will cure it. Maybe I won't have to lose every single one of my dogs to this damn disease.
