SM and MVD RESEARCH INFORMATION
Could I pass on the exciting information about the Revolutionary type of Research now being carried out by Dr Sarah Blott at the Animal Health Trust ,one of the most important Veterinary Research Centers World Wide,who has been given Funding by the Kennel Club here in Britain.
This Research is for the Cavalier Breed into their SM and MVD Problem ,if successful ,will extend to other Health Problems affecting other Breeds .
The bases of it as I understand ,is for Cheek Swabs to be taken ,and this is so important ,that those Cheek Swabs must match the Cheek Swabs of the Cavaliers' other Relations ,this way it is proved that the Pedigrees are not flawed .
For this type of Research to be done Scientifically ,everything has to based on true facts ,or it could be misleading the Researchers.
This ,will I believe lead to MRI Scanning not being required .
At the moment MRI Scanning doesn't provide the information on the Carriers of those Diseases .
Perhaps it will never be known how the SM problem appeared ,since it it is agreed that it is in other Small Breeds as well ,and is now termed a Small Breeds' Disease by a Neurologist in America ,so this Type of Research will hopefully Breed Away from the Problem .
