Researchers will investigate potential new medical treatments for canine Cushing's syndrome.
Researchers will improve techniques for monitoring anticoagulant therapy and preventing blood clot complications in dogs with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia.
Researchers will investigate the efficacy of a new treatment for dogs with abnormally high urinary protein levels associated with kidney disease.
Researchers will investigate the safety and efficacy of using donated stem cells to treat dogs with naturally occurring osteoarthritis that have limited treatment options.
Researchers will investigate the role of a signaling pathway in the progression of bone cancer in dogs and evaluate its potential as a new therapeutic target to help treat this disease.
Researchers will determine whether the fur of animal-assistance therapy dogs can become contaminated with hospital-associated infections and test whether low-costinterventions can reduce the risk of microbial transmission between therapy animals and patients with childhood cancer.
Researchers will test specialized filters that may reduce life-threatening transfusion reactions in dogs.
Researchers will investigate the efficacy of a new pain relief option, the transdermal lidocaine patch, for dogs that undergo surgery.
Researchers will investigate how Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, a common cause of bacterial skin and postoperative infections in dogs, forms groups of bacteria that stick to surfaces, such as catheters and orthopedic metal implants, making infections difficult to treat.
By studying how platelets and bacteria interact when dogs with serious infections develop blood poisoning, the research fellow will gain information that will improve treatment.
