> I recently got an email from Dr. Wayne Potts of the University of
Utah reporting that he had only gotten one response from the
information that we posted to the Malamute Health web site regarding
his research into hypothyroid, diabetes, and hemolytic anemia (CHF
Grant #305). He is trying to figure out how to predict which dogs
may be stricken with these devastating autoimmune disorders and how
we might catch it early enough to prevent the worst effects.

> Given that malamutes reportedly have a high prevalence of
thyroiditis and, to a lesser extent, diabetes and hemolytic anemia,
I am disappointed that more people haven't inquired about how they
can help.

> If you have a dog with any of these disorders, please go to
<http://www.malamutehealth.org/grant305.htm> to find out how to get
involved. The research doesn't cost anything except, perhaps,
postage, and is entirely painless for your dog.

is NOT limited to northern breeds -- ALL breeds are welcome.
