Whoa! THREE with the same suite of symptoms?

I wonder if someone has an agora line that is also prone to dwarfism and/or
some other problems, or if is not an angora line but just another with the
wiry coat combined with these serious medical problems.

Hearing about multiple ones really sounds like someone has some terribly
seriously defective genetics in a line that is being bred: the pain, the
impaired motion, the shortened lives, the inability to think well are all serious
quality of life issues. Having three show up like that makes a person really
wonder...
