Re: The reason for the Ivermectin-sensitive Collie – A deadly gene defect

[Finwe]

Thank you very much for keeping this subject!

I asked in Gießen (http://www.vetmed.uni-giessen.de/pharmtox/mdr1_defekt.html) about where to test.
And I got the answer that you can send the blood to Gießen. And because of the temperature now there would be no problem that the blood wouldn´t be all right after arriving in Gießen.
(And they hope to have an english translation one day…)

Here is the link to the test formular: http://www.vetmed.uni-giessen.de/pharmtox/mdr1_defekt/Auftragsformular.pdf
