I agree with this! If there is going to be enough for a study, they=20
need the dogs with the problems.
I had a pup with cerebellar hypoplasia. As a young pup we couldn't=20
quite figure why he gaited funny. He did not have head bobbing. But he=20=
chewed in an odd way. To make the story shorter, we took him to the U=20=
of T Vet School to a neurologist and he was diagnosed. He had a light=20=
case and still remains as a pet. At times, he goes down in the=20
backend and xrays have shown no skeletal problems and it is thought=20
that there may be a more severe brain problem than first thought. But=20=
he is so happy and has such wonderful attitude and we could see no=20
sense in further tests as there is nothing that can be done. He is, of=20=
course, neutered. And of course, is a beautiful dog. However,=20
whenever his time comes, I am taking him to the U of T alive and the=20
students will study him a short while and I will be with him when he is=20=
put down and then they will do complete necropsy at no charge. I=20
have been told it is unlikely that it is hereditary but I want them to=20=
have all the facts they can get. There has been an ongoing study at=20
Cornell in NY and I've been in contact with them. However, that is so=20=
far to take him that I doubt I will send his body there. They did ask=20=
for a video of him.
Whenever there is a study, we need to do all we can to cooperate and=20
help with it. Anne, TN
