Could you take part in this osteoarthritis research?

I recently interviewed Ben Walton who is a Canine Orthopaedic Clinical Research Assistant at the University of LIverpool Small Animal Teaching Hospital. He is currently researching into the way osteoarthritis in dogs is treated. I was fascinated with how the research is being carried out and how feedback is being gathered, and the interview will be featured in our April show.
 
If you have a dog with osteoarthritis and you could travel to Liverpool you may want to find out more about the research - the team are still recruiting dogs to take part. You can find out more about the study here and here. Even if your dog has already been diagnosed and is receiving treatment for the condition, you could still take part in the study.
 
Take care,
