Episodic Falling

 

Episodic falling (EF) is a syndrome of muscle stiffness and collapse that has been in evidence in this breed for over 40 years . In recent years there has been a distinct increase in the number of reported cases and research into this condition is currently ongoing.

Dr Jacques Penderis BVSc,MVM,PhD,Cert VR, DipECVN,MRCVS,RCVS and European Specialist in Veterinary Neurology is working in conjunction with Dr Catherine Mellersh ( Head of Genetics Dept at the Animal Health Trust).

This club is supporting this research and trying to help them raise enough funds for the geonome scan they need to run. We have raised well over £2000 so far but at least another £6000 is needed.

Donations will be gratefully received and can be sent either to the club secretary or directly to Dr Catherine Mellersh, The Animal Health Trust, Lanwades Park, Kentford, Newmarket, Suffolk. CB8 7UU. Please include a covering letter stating that the donation is for the Episodic Falling in Cavaliers research. This will ensure the money is paid into the correct account.
