Addison’s Research

Addison’s in Finnish Lapphunds

The Royal Veterinary College research programme into developing a diagnostic test for canine Addison’s is now ready to accept samples from dogs diagnosed with this condition. They are keen to have samples (a small amount of blood which can be collected at routine electrolyte testing) from UK Lappies, indeed the more Lappies who provide samples the more reliable any future diagnostic testing will be for our breed. If you have a lappy which has been diagnosed with Addison’s, especially if that diagnosis has been made this year, would you please consider participating in the research.
