We are embarking on a multi-center clinical trial to investigate the effectiveness of a new drug for treatment of arthritis in dogs. This drug has proven to be very safe in canine studies. The final step for FDA approval is to demonstrate efficacy in clinical cases. If you have a dog weighing at least 14 pounds who is limping due to arthritis or what you believe is arthritis, it may be a candidate for this study.

To contact us by email Comparison of Ulnar Trochlear Notch Morphology in Rottweilers and Greyhounds Using Three Dimensional Digitization Rottweiler dogs are frequently diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the elbow joints. Researchers have hypothesized that an abnormally shaped ulnar trochlear notch is the underlying cause of this problem. To explore this theory, we are comparing the shape of the ulnar trochlear notch of rottweilers to that of greyhounds, a breed in which elbow disease is rare. Elbows of rottweilers and greyhounds which have died of other causes are digitized using a Microscribe 3DX digitizing arm and imaged using Rinoceros , a three dimensional modeling program. Differences between the articular contours of the two breeds are examined.
