Blood Sample Submission for Scottie Cramp Research
- Collect 3 to 5 ml of blood from each dog into an EDTA tube (lavender-top).
- Label each tube with the dog’s name and owner’s last name.
- Complete a copy of the Scottie Cramp Questionnaire for each dog.
- If you are not going to ship the blood right away, keep refrigerated until ready to ship.
- Ship no later than one week from collection, and plan to ship as early in the week as possible.
- Pack the samples with the completed questionnaires and ship to UM. Overnight shipping is preferred. Shipping charges will be covered by UM or reimbursed by the HTF.
- If the weather is hot, please package the sample with a small cold pack. Otherwise, a cold pack is not necessary.
