Vets urged to help with Cushing's disease study

The Animal Health Trust hopes research will help with diagnosis of Cushing's disease.

AHT hopes to aid diagnosis by looking at breed differences

Veterinary surgeons are being asked to assist with a study of breed differences in the clinical features of canine hyperadrenocorticism, or Cushing's disease.

It is hoped that findings from the Animal Health Trust (AHT) study will help veterinary surgeons to diagnose the condition.

The research will rely on data from vets across the UK and the trust is calling on members of the profession to promote the study to colleagues and help increase knowledge of the disease.

An online questionnaire hopes to gain information on each case diagnosed. The AHT is urging veterinary surgeons to complete the 10-minute questionnaire for each patient diagnosed with spontaneous hyperdrenocorticism.

All information is submitted anonymously and each time a questionnaire is submitted, there is a chance to win a £100 Amazon voucher.

Participants can opt to be notified when study results become available.

Birmingham Dogs Home makes urgent appeal
Birmingham Dogs Home has issued an urgent winter appeal as it faces more challenges over the Christmas period.

The rescue centre has seen a dramatic increase in dogs coming into its care, and is currently caring for over 200 dogs. With rising costs and dropping temperatures, the charity is calling for urgent support.

It costs the charity £6,000 per day to continue its work.

Fi Harrison, head of fundraising and communications, said: "It's heart-breaking for our team to see the conditions some dogs arrive in. We really are their last chance and hope of survival."

More information about the appeal can be found here.
