In case anyone else is wondering about the MDR1 gene here is some info I got from someone on an Aussie board:

MDR1 (Multi-Drug Reactivity 1) :
A mutation in a gene called MDR1 has been found to cause toxic reactions to several drugs in those dogs with at least one copy of the mutant version of the gene. Dogs with two copies may be even more sensitive to some of the drugs. This mutation is present in some Australian Shepherds.

A screening test is now available. For information on the test and a list of drugs that cause reactions: http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/depts-VCPL/.

In Europe, the test can be obtained at http://www.vetmed.uni-giessen.de/pharmtox/index.html

To see the results of the study that demonstrated the presence of this gene mutation in Aussies: http://www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/0402374101v1

I was updating my LJ and of course had to mention this yucky event that took up a lot of my morning time this morning. I came up with a few nifty diarrhea songs all by myself that explain how I awoke this morning so I thought I would share them. I think they are funny. lol


When you're waking up in the morning
And you smell a stench a roaring
Diarrhea
Diarrhea

When you're feet hit the floor
and they slide forever more
Diarrhea
Diarrhea

LOL! My friend and I made up a Diarrhea song too since I felt like I was always cleaning it at work ... we thought we'd make the experience a little more bareable
