Have you ever
wondered just how many gliders really SM? Or what percentage undergo
amputations each year? Or maybe you wondered how often the average
owner experiences an emergency surgery (just how prepared do you need
to be anyway?). When talking to your vet, have you ever wished you
could say, "well _________ is actually more common than we think?" Or
"100's of gliders survive this procedure each year." ????
Well, these questions and more are some that the SUGAR group seeks to answer with our yearly incidence and census survey.
The
2009 Incidence and Census survey only takes a few moments to complete,
but provides us with a great deal of valuable information for our
research.
If you have not already done so, PLEASE complete your 2009 survey by sending a survey request to sugargroupsurveys@hotmail.com
The SUGAR Group's seizure study is recently updated to further our
research and data collection. If you have participated before in the
seizure log, then you will notice that the biggest change is that the
data sheet is now completed and returned each time the glider has a
seizure episode (rather than quarterly).
If you have a glider who experiences seizures, please be sure to request, complete and return the SUGAR Group's
seizure study form each time the glider has a seizure. You can request
the form by emailing sugargroupsurveys@hotmail.com
Once
the study form is sent to you, hang on to it for use each time your
glider has a seizure. We need 150 completed forms to begin to draw
conclusions and see patterns.
