Research Survey: Chronic Coughing in Cats

Check out this survey from the University of Saskatchewan's College of Veterinary Medicine concerning Chronic Coughing in Cats. This research study is being conducted by Dr. Mathieu Paulin, CVM, IPSAV, Dr. Kevin Cosford (VMC) and Dr. Sarah Caney (Edinburgh).  Thank you to Dr. Paulin for sharing his study with us!

'We want to understand owner’s experience living with a cat with a chronic cough, with past and current treatment regimes. We have created an online questionnaire. The survey takes 10-15 minutes to complete. The survey is open to any cat owner over the age of 18 years living with a cat diagnosed with a coughing condition lasting or requiring treatment for more than 2 months. Participants are able to withdraw from the questionnaire at any time up until pressing submit at the end (withdrawing is anonymous). All data will be anonymous. The data collected will be used exclusively by the research group at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada.

This survey has been approved by the University of Saskatchewan Behavioural Research Ethics Board (Beh-REB #2140).'
