Glaucoma or cataracts?
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2009 5:27 am
I keep thinking I see a milky reflection in Ambrr's beautiful eyes. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't ...
Glaucoma is build up of aqueous humor draining ... as I read it here:

And there are medical treatments including laser treatments ...
For cataracts, there appears to be conflicting info, ie, drops or surgery as the treatments available.
Here's one link I found:

which sounds extremely hopeful ...

Gads. I have 2 to get to the vet before Ambrr can get in there.
We don't have a local opthamologist, we have visiting in Savannah, and there's one in Charleston, I have been told.
Gads. I hate this. Having blind dogs has never been an issue, but the Nanner really needs her beautiful eyes...
She turned 9 on January 1. She is a lab husky mix, so she's elderly, but I'm not telling her.
