Canine Cushing's Disease—Share Your
Experience
The Animal Health Trust (AHT) is encouraging
veterinarians in the U.S. to participate in a pro-
spective survey study on
breed differences in clin-
ical features in canine
Cushing's disease (hyper-
adrenocorticism, H AC).
The study's goal is to test
the hypothesis that prev-
alence of clinical signs
and physical examination
findings are not the same
among different breeds. The survey should take
about 10 minutes to complete for each patient di-
agnosed with spontaneous HAC. All participants
who complete the survey will have a chance to win
a $160 Amazon voucher and will be notified of the
results of the study once available. For more in-
formation, contact michael.bennaim@aht.org.
uk. To take the survey, visit bit.ly/aht-cushing
before October 2014.
