| | Alpha | Meryl gets holtered
I thought you all would like to see Meryl making her contribution to science  ....she spent Labor Day getting holtered. She was a good girl! Let's hope the results are great too.  |

This is a machine that measures cardiac rhythm. Abnormal cardiac rhythm is frequently an early indicator of DCM, and can result in sudden death.
Hopefully Meryl will have normal rhythm. If not, they'll be able to put her on anti arrythmic drugs in an attempt to avoid sudden death.

People use it as a breeding tool as well, but the testing we have available today is actually of more benefit to the individual dog.
