This is a sensitive subject, and I do not want to upset any owner who has a dog with SM ( I have three myself ) but as many of you will know, I organise and fund raise for a scheme that provides cell tissue for SM and other research in the UK.
I'm pleased to say that we now have the scheme shown on Dr Clare Rusbridge's homepage.
The beautiful dog in the photo is my Ch. Mareve Indiana ( Monty ) who was postmortemed by Clare when he died in 2004.

There is a fund raising thread, I have posted today........ http://board.cavaliertalk.com/showthread.php?t=28271&page=12 , but I have decided to also post here, as one of the most important things at the moment is to reach owners of SM dogs, so they know about the scheme & can think whether it is something they could consider when the time comes.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for the owners of cavaliers that are being scanned this week
Don't despair, many dogs can have their symptoms controlled for years and will end up dying of some other health problem when elderly.
