But there are enough little threads of evidence that the veterinary oncology college is formally putting together a taskforce to look into it. The Onco college is actually very good about putting together big multi-center collaborative studies, so my guess is the process of answering this question with a properly designed study will begin in the near future. It will be interesting to see what comes of it. Good thing this is not a big neuro question to be answered, the modus operandi for the Neurology College is for everyone to drink too much and then start yelling at each other, sadly I am not kidding.
