UW-Madison is conducting a Clinical Trial:

The Small Animal Internal Medicine Service is recruiting clinically healthy adult Greyhound dogs with no recent or chronic illness.  They are investigating why Greyhound dogs have higher levels of the metabolite homocysteine compared to other dog breeds.

They are looking to obtain blood and urine samples from healthy Greyhound and non-Greyhound dogs.

Eligibility:  Any clinically healthy adult Greyhound or non-Greyhound dog with no recent or chronic illness may be a candidate for this study.

This study will help promote better understanding of a unique blood abnormality found within the Greyhound breed, which may help treat Greyhounds in the future.  Results of this study may support followup studies on genetic mechanisms for this abnormality.

Please contact Amanda Brooks, CVT, at simons5@wisc.edu or 608-890-3484 or Dr. Kelsey Johnson at kjohnson224@wisc.edu.  The PI for this study is Dr. Lauren Trepanier.
