It can occur in any breed, although typically some are more commonly affected than others. Epilepsy can have a huge impact on the quality of life of both the dog and owner and, for this reason, many epileptic dogs end up being put down. Ollies Fund has been set up to allow researchers at the Animal Health Trust to research into the cause of the illness and prevent dogs suffering in the future. The Trusts Neurology Unit has several ongoing projects to improve the understanding, treatment and, most importantly, the prevention, of epilepsy. This goal can only be achieved with the help and expertise of the specialist Canine Genetics Department at the Trust. By studying the genetics of the condition in a variety of breeds, it is anticipated that a number of different genes will be identified that play a role in the development of canine epilepsy. In order to continue this pioneering research, the Animal Health Trust needs funding. Any money raised for Ollies Fund will go directly towards this project, and will support the work being done to get to the root of canine epilepsy.
