HC Deb 07 November 1929 vol 231 c1293W
Colonel CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware that the comparatively new disease of hysteria is seriously affecting sheep dogs and other dogs in this country; and what steps his Department is taking to investigate the cause of this ailment and to find a cure?

Dr. ADDISON

I am aware of the occurrence of hysteria among dogs in this country, and although no cases in sheep dogs have been brought to my notice, they are probably susceptible to the condition. Research into the disease is in progress at the Royal Veterinary College.
