This is important research and participation is needed from all breeds.
The literature on Bloat points in many directions that has not brought breeders any closer to a solution. For these reasons a new survey has been developed that focuses on some of the factors that might contribute to its occurrence.
Input is needed. You may have had a dog that bloated and/or a dog that did not bloat.
This survey is the joint effort of Dr. Carmen Battaglia Ph.D of the AKC and Dr. Cindy Otto DVM, Univ. Penn, Vet School.
The goal is to look at conditions that are relevant to the further study of this disease. Your contribution is appreciated. A summary of the results and findings will be posted on the website Breeding Better Dogs in November 2010.
