PugHealth writes "Through the Colorado State Veterinary Diagnostic Labratory, Dr. Dan Gould and Dr. Jamie Bush are implementing a study to assess prevalence, sex preference, and environmental risk factors.
Brains from any pugs that die or are euthanized for any reason, including suspected PDE, are requested. In addition to brains, please submit a medical history (including vaccination and deworming history), physical exam findings, and any diagnostic results. Veterinarians may submit the whole brain preserved in 10% buffered formalin, or the chilled head or whole body can be submitted for brain removal by Dr. Bush.
Freezing should be avoided.
Histopathology will be performed to determine a diagnosis of PDE, and histologic lesions will be characterized. Questionnaires will be sent to the guardians of all pugs to evaluate potential environmental risk factors. Shipping costs will be the responsibility of the pug's guardian. A pathology report of the brain histopathology will be sent to the referring veterinarian and pug guardian. Please contact Dr. Bush at pugology@lamar.colostate.edu with any questions, concerns, or submission queries."
