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.
