Lantern Publications Research Papers and Case Reports

Overview of author's work:

• 43 cases with lab results and hormone doses—adrenal exhaustion and low immunoglobulins are common problems among SARD dogs

Published research:

• A study of 18 SARD dogs, diet, and lifestyle

• Two studies presented at the 2007 Meeting of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists: A retrospective study of three dogs; and a case study of a Brittany Spaniel — Why dogs develop health problems after they were thought to have “adapted” to SARDS.

Additional case reports:

• Case report #1 — Hormone replacement in a Jack Russell Terrier

• Case report #2 — Hormone replacement in a Beagle (This case is very straightforward with five sets of lab results. This dog regained limited vision.)

• Case report #3 — Short-term hormone replacement in a Springer Spaniel (This report describes the results of terminating treatment too soon.)

• Case report #4 — Estrogen levels monitored at Cornell University. (The pattern demonstrated by this laboratory is similar to the pattern demonstrated by National Veterinary Diagnostic Services.)

• Case report #5 — Confounding test results in SARDS dogs: When both cortisol and estrogen are elevated. (Full text pending. Please also see FAQ #13 at this time.)

• Case report #6 — The hazards of Lysodren and Trilostane treatment during adrenal exhaustion.

• Case report #7—BLINDNESS REVERSED in a male Springer Spaniel (This report includes the author’s most complete theory of SARDS.)
