What’s most needed for the project right now are case history submissions. Please either print off the case history for mailing with any support documents or records you are willing to send, or you can now submit your case history on the site. I understand well how time consuming it can be to assemble a complete history, particularly for the dogs whose stories stretch over some period of time. At this point I would rather have some/the basic information than have nothing so that we can get some better sense of the numbers, so PLEASE submit your information and encourage anyone you know with an affected dog to do the same.
Looks to the right of this post, and you should see the links to the case history forms. Thanks so much in advance for your help!

my 5 year-old gsp male woke one morning with a collapsed
lung and fluid in his heart cavity. after clearing that up, a bulla
developed and surgery was performed to remove a foxtail seed which
punctured his lung and left a scar tissue. we were hunting in Iowa
where he inhaled the foxtail. he is now 12 and still hunts with
gusto.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing Mojo’s story. I’m glad that he came through his infection without lasting affects on his health. Please continue to share the information about grass awn-related illness. Educated owners = safer dogs!
