The Gastrointestinal Laboratory plays an active role in the
study of gastrointestinal disorders in dogs and cats. We also develop new diagnostic tests
that may one day be useful in diagnosing gastrointestinal disorders and we try to study new therapeutic strategies for groups of
patients with gastrointestinal disease. However, we could not do
any of this work without your help.
We are currently doing several retrospective studies that
require clinical patient data. Thus, we may send you a short
questionnaire about a specific patient of yours. Your help in filling
out those questionnaires is greatly appreciated.
More detailed information on several new studies for
which we are currently enrolling patients, including contact details
and eligibility requirements, are given below.
Please remember, we can not give diagnostic or therapeutic
advice to pet owners. Samples must be submitted to the laboratory via your
primary
care veterinarian.
