Saving For The Future
By Ann Sunderman
O
ur hope for the
future is the ESSFTA
Foundation DNA Bank,
which is in the hands of
Dr. Gary Johnson of the
University of Missouri
College of Veterinary
Medicine. Dr. Johnson and
his staff are isolating DNA
from blood, tissue, or frozen semen samples submitted by owners or breeders.
A submission to the DNA
Project requires 10 ccs of
whole blood from dogs
or older puppies, docked
newborn tail tips, tissue
samples collected during
surgery or when the dog
passes away, or from two
straws of frozen semen.
Sending in newborn tail
tips is a very simple process
and because the breeder
is already paying for the
docking procedure, any
additional cost is very
minimal.
The banked DNA will be
used to search for genetic
markers for health problems in our breed such
as PRA and epilepsy. In
the future the uses for the
banked DNA are limitless.
As research techniques
become more advanced, the
possibilities exist for genetic
markers for other health
problems and even certain
characteristics such as
scenting ability or temperament. Samples from healthy
dogs are just as important
to the research as samples
from dogs with documented health issues.
The cost for submitting a DNA sample to the
University of Missouri is
$10.00. The fee is collected
by the ESSFTA Foundation
and forwarded to Dr.
Johnson for storage and
processing of the samples.
A short health form, a five
generation pedigree, AKC
or CKC registration number, and the owner’s name
and address must accompany the DNA submissions to
the University of Missouri.
There is also a short form
that goes to the ESSFTA
Foundation. If samples are
submitted from a litter of
puppies, a “litter name”
for each puppy should be
included with each sample.
Once the puppies are
registered, the information needs to be sent to
the project to update each
puppy’s file. Any pertinent
health information on dogs
in the DNA Bank should
be updated as needed with
the project. Things such
as OFA numbers, CERF
numbers, any other health
clearances or any health
problems should be reported to the DNA Bank for
inclusion in their studies.
You may contact
Dr. Johnson’s DNA
Bank and Project
Coordinator, Liz Hansen
at HansenL@missouri.
edu, phone 573-884-3712,
or write to her at 209A
Connaway Hall, University
of Missouri, Columbia, MO
65211. The ESSFTA Web
site, www.essfta.org, contains information on the
DNA project and the necessary forms can be downloaded from there as well.
Have you submitted
samples from all of your
Springers to the ESSFTA
Foundation DNA Bank?
Our breed’s future is
depending on it.
Thank You!
Thank you to everyone

Jake’s Bout With Bloat
By Jon Pidde
M
y Springer, Jake McGee II SH UDX3 WDX NA NAJ,
almost died on Wednesday, August 3. It was the first
day of our camping trip at Wild River State Park. After setting up camp, we decided to take a short walk to the St.
Croix River to let the dogs go for a swim. My wife Sandy,
Jake, Benson (my new 13-week-old puppy) and I headed for
the river. The temperature was over 90° so I made sure the
two dogs were drinking enough water.
With Jake running ahead and Benson trying to keep up,
it was a pleasant afternoon. When we arrived at the river
Jake jumped in and Benson followed.
I was paying so much attention to the puppy, I didn’t
notice that Jake was in trouble. Sandy said he looked a little
funny. He came out of the water and was sitting on a sandbar with a little foam in the corner of his mouth.
I started checking him all over, and his abdomen was
noticeably swollen. His belly was very warm to the touch.
He started stretching and trying to throw up. I didn’t know
if he had gotten into something when I wasn’t looking. I was
thinking poison, heat stroke or something else.
We immediately headed back to camp and stopped at a
water fountain. I tried to cool Jake off by running water over
him and cooling off his belly. His belly was now swollen to
the size of a basketball.
When we got to the car he didn’t wait for a lift into
the car but just jumped right in. Jake was doing a lot of
moaning, lying down and getting up. He just couldn’t get
comfortable. With Jake having the dry heaves and in great
distress, we headed for North Branch. That 15-minute trip
seamed to last forever.
Benson’s breeder lives about a mile out of town so we
headed straight to her house. At 5:25 p.m. we called the
nearest veterinarian, the North Branch Veterinary Hospital,
and told them we were on our way.
Facts About Bloat
S
ince Jake’s bout with Bloat, I have been doing a research
on Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) also called Torsion
or Bloat. With the help of Dr. Joe Spoo (www.gundogdoc.
com) I have found out the following.
• GDV is more common in large, deep-chested breeds like
Akita, Great Dane, German Shephard, Irish Setter and
Weimaraners.
• GDV is more common in dogs that are fed once a day and
eat very fast, perhaps drinking a lot of water after eating.
• GDV is more common in dogs that exercise a lot after eating.
• GDV is more common in dogs
with a fearful temperament and/
or dogs that are under stress.
Jake’s Gastric Detorsion is
a success!
• Between 35% and 50% of dogs
with Bloat do not recover.
• If GDV is caught early, and the
dog walks into the clinic, survival
increases to 85-90%.
• Without the Gastropexy, 80% of
the dogs have another episode of Bloat within a couple of
days.
The cause of Bloat remains unknown, but the sooner it is
diagonsed and fixed, the better the survival rate.
—Jon Pidde
The veterinarian, Dr. Jacobs, diagnosed Jake with Gastric
dilatation-volvulus (GDV) also called Torsion or Bloat.
Bloat is a condition when, for some reason, a dog’s stomach twists, cutting off the input and exit of the stomach.
Dr. Jacobs took a couple of X-rays to confirm his diagnosis and recommended immediate surgery. To make matters worse, he wanted me to sign a release to allow Jake to
be euthanized if his stomach looked like it was dying.
We waited for about a half hour until we were told
that the “Gastric Detorsion” was a success. They said
they would call our breeder in an hour or so when
the “Gastropexy” and closing was finished. (Gastric
Detorsion is where a surgeon opens up the dog and, after
releasing the pressure, spins the stomach back where it
belongs. Gastropexy is sewing the stomach to the side
cavity so it can’t spin again. While
inside the dog, the surgeon also
inspects the organs for signs of dying
tissue.)
After an hour and a half, we
received word that the surgery was
done, everything looked good, and we
should come back the next day.
By 2:00 p.m. the next day, Jake
had started eating and drinking, and
we were able to take him home. We had to put Jake on a
bland diet, feeding him five or six times a day. It took Jake
two days to start pooping; in other words his digestive
system didn’t shut down.
Jake is recovering nicely and looks forward to kicking a
little puppy’s (Benson’s) butt.

new, highly contagious and sometimes deadly canine
flu is spreading in kennels and at dog tracks around the
country.
The virus, which scientists say mutated from an influenza strain that affects horses, has killed racing greyhounds
in seven states (Florida, Massachusetts, Arizona, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, Texas and Iowa) and has been found
in shelters and pet shops in many places, including the New
York suburbs, though the extent of its spread is unknown.
Dr. Cynda Crawford, an immunologist at the University
of Florida’s College of Veterinary Medicine who is studying the virus, said that it is spread most easily where dogs
were housed together but that it could also be passed on the
street, in dog runs or even by a human transferring it from
one dog to another. Kennel workers have carried the virus
home with them, she said.
How many dogs die from the virus is unclear, but scientists said the fatality rate is more than 1 percent and could
be as high as 10 percent among puppies and older dogs.
Dr. Crawford said that because dogs had no natural
immunity to the virus, virtually every animal exposed
would be infected. About 80 percent of dogs that are infected with the virus will develop symptoms. She added that the
symptoms were often mistaken for “kennel cough,” a common canine illness that is caused by the bordetella bronchiseptica bacteria.
Dr. Crawford said she was fielding calls from kennels and
veterinarians across the country worried that they were having outbreaks.
“The hysteria out there is unbelievable, and the misinformation is incredible,” said Dr. Ann E. Hohenhaus, chief of
medicine at the Animal Medical Center in New York.
Dr. Hohenhaus said she had heard of an alert from a
Virginia dog club reporting rumors that 10,000 show dogs
had died.
“We don’t believe that’s true,” she said, adding that no
dogs in her Manhattan hospital even had coughs.
Dr. Donis of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) said
that there was currently no vaccine for the canine flu. But he
said one would be relatively easy to develop. The canine flu
is less lethal than parvovirus, which typically kills puppies
but can be prevented by routine vaccination.
