my love

my love was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis aka interstitial lung disease.  He was exposed to asbestos while in the Navy. 30 some years latter his doctors are calling it IPF. and blaming his disease on our pets, instead of asbestos.  He is now at end stage of the disease.  What if any is the likelihood that it is caused from our pets?

I can not comment on the pet issue,  but I do recall frequently seeing "class action" legal action concerning asbestos related problems.  I believe that might be a good place to get some "free" help on answering your question.  I believe one has to medically establish if asbestos is involved, if yes that says it is not pet related.
