Pet Cancer Awareness Month

In this special edition of Genome Barks we hear from Dr. Shila Nordone, Chief Scientific Officer of the AKC Canine Health Foundation. May is Pet Cancer Awareness Month and throughout the month CHF will be highlighting currently-funded cancer research projects, providing information about different types of canine cancer, care for dogs with cancer, and other cancer-related health resources. In this podcast, Dr. Nordone provides an overview of the Foundation's commitment to canine cancer research, the future of canine cancer research and prevention, and the One Health / One Medicine approach to research which benefits not only dogs, but humans as well.

Pain Medications and Canine Immune Function

06/06/2013

In this podcast we bring you a research update with Dr. Amy DeClue, Assistant Professor of Small Animal Internal Medicine at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. DeClue was funded by CHF to investigate whether any of the common pain medications used in dogs could inadvertently suppress the immune system, leaving dogs susceptible to infection after surgery or a major procedure.
