Subject: What’s Shakin’ Baby
September 20, 2013
2002 marked my introduction to Shaky Puppy syndrome (hypomyelination) in Weims. That also marks my introduction to Dr Ian Duncan at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. We embarked on a project to identify how the disorder expressed itself in the Weimaraner which eventually lead to the discovery of the defective gene. There were many heartbreaking moments along the way, definitely not a task for the faint of heart. Due to the dedicated efforts of many talented researchers across the country (and abroad) the defective gene has been located, identified and confirmed. Thus a screening test for carrier status in the Weimaraner is ready to be released for use by breeders. As of this week, the scientific paper regarding this work has officially been accepted for publication by a peer review journal. Dr Duncan is preparing a statement for the AKC Canine Health Foundation and WCA Health committee. The WCA is wasting no time and has already working with OFA to add this test to their data base. UC Davis will perform the actual screening test.
This work has been both exciting and heartbreaking over the past 11 years. I am indebted to all the individuals who participated in the study in ways large and small. For without this collective effort we would not be celebrating this accomplishment today.
Kind regards,
Katrina Sullivan, DPM – ksull@u.washington.edu

Holiday Dog Treats
It’s the time of year when everyone indulges in special treats, but holiday favorites such as turkey scraps and chocolate are harmful for dogs. These homemade treats are dog-friendly and delicious, with a hint of holiday flare. Make some for your special dog and more to share with other canine friends!
Pumpkin Peanut Butter Biscuits
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat or barley flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Stir dry ingredients in medium bowl. In separate bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin, and peanut butter. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and knead thoroughly. Dough should be dry and stiff; add small amounts of water as needed to make it workable. (If dough is too sticky, add small amounts of flour.) Roll dough into half-inch thickness and cut into half-inch pieces, using knife or cookie cutters
Bake about 40 minutes, or until hard and dry.
