For the first dog you report on, the specific ailments are visible on each condition page. For dogs 2 – 10, you only see the list of specific ailments if you click “Yes” on the category page. A list of the categories and specific ailments in the survey is available here: http://tinyurl.com/BHCAHealthConditionsDefined . It can be printed or opened in a separate browser window for reference during the survey. You can also use it as a worksheet before you sit down to enter your responses on-line.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:9.8pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#141823'>• Give yourself enough time to do the survey in one sitting. If you are going to consult veterinary records, assemble them ahead of time. Figure on 5-10 minutes per dog.

If you forget and hit the browser’s back arrow, you will be bumped out of the survey. There is some good news, however. If you exit the survey and IMMEDIATELY go back in using the same computer and browser, there is a good chance that will put you back into your survey and you can then click forward to where you were before.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:9.8pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#141823'>Need more help?
