Complete listing of MAC results
The following is a note from Dr. Giger after his presentation at our AMSC meeting in Audubon, PA on 10-8-16
It was a great pleasure to meet the leadership and members of the AMSC and present our recent discovery. An account with power point slides and text is posted. Apparently the members are embracing the screening of miniature schnauzers for MAC. We had a great evening reviewing what is known and how to take the best approach to healthy Miniature schnauzers.We have a couple of requests:
Please let us know if you have an infected dog – we will test the dog free of charge and also like to get blood samples to study the immune dysfunction.
We also like to hear from owners who had dogs with aspergillosis or skin infections as we like to see if those were related to MAC
Thank you

SWINGTAIL GALE WARNING Pedigree
The AMSC Health Committee continues to support Dr. Giger’s recommendation to test all breeding dogs.The Health Committee has noted that one of the reasons for supporting this recommendation is that there have been at least 3 cases known where by Newsprint, Future Shock nor ANY other known producer on at least one side of the pedigree and one specifically, Swingtail Gale Warning, who does not have Newsprint, Future Shock, nor any known producer on EITHER SIDE of the pedigree. This dog was diagnosed with MAC – see here for more information.
