My oldest setter has been diagnosed with it as has two other previous ones. All were past 10 years of age when diagnosed. I don't consider it much of a concern due to the age of the dogs. What I do with any other old dog is what I did with them. The previous two died at 12.5 and 13 years of age though they had other health conditions that were more of a factor than Lar Par. The current dog is 13 years old and may not make it past next spring. He is healthy and active but there has been a very noticeable down turn in his overall physical and mental state over the summer.
It is something to take into account but, considering their age as it relates to humans, it is to be expected. Actually, humans are probably in worse shape overall than dogs at corresponding points in life.
