If you have questions about the Degenerative Myelopathy Project or think you can help with the search for answers to this problem, please contact us. We cannot make specific recommendations for the diagnosis or treatment of your individual pet. For those recommendations, you should see your veterinarian. We can help arrange additional diagnostic test if you and your veterinarian think your dog may have degenerative myelopathy. If you have a dog with suspected Degenerative Myelopathy, we would like to discuss how you can contribute to the investigation.
Dr. Coates or Dr. O'Brien can answer questions from veterinarians and help arrange for diagnostic tests. Liz Hansen will coordinate DNA sample collection. Dr. Sylvia Lueck represents the PWCCA in this projectDr. Joan Coates
