Cody Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 He's Fantastic Codygirl...thanks for asking. He was in the Perth Royal today...had a ball! He loved all the attention he got.... I was quite amazed at how many people asked if he could actually see, or where his eyes were!......They are only under the hair!!! Yeah I know. Everyone always asks if Rocky can see.

Bilbo Baggins Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Yeah his eyes have always been the same as OES like some other breeds can have wall eye (or two blue, or two brown, or in Charlies case one of each....wall eye). It looks much different to that of a dog with a cateract.I have never once seen the same vet at the one surgery that I go to....thank goodness....he is not sick very often! I know nothing about OES other than the dulux dog LOL. Not true. I did know about the different coloured eyes. Sure vets can not know everthing but at some point in their training they would have been told that some animals can have wall eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogie Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'm no expert on dogs (as your vet is) but there are many different diseases IN HUMANS that can be detected by a change in eye colour - particularly a loss of colour in one or both eyes. i think your vet was being thorough!

Cordelia Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Vets are like any other professional field.. some are good, some are great with extensive knowledge (had you gone to a vet known for seeing show dogs you would have got a different reaction) and some completely suck. I had a vet tell me there was no way my Merle Great Dane could hear because she has a lot of white AND has bilateral blue eyes..... really?? "Gen come".. over she came... hmmm Just as some vets understand Rescue and Ethics and some don't (like another vet who told me I should breed Genevieve because she is so tall for a Dane bitch) and she '"seemed sound enough". WTF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mita Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) There is an old adage.........The top 10% of a graduating vet class goes on to being the best scientific reseachers and never go into practice.The next 20% go on to being the best practising vets. And the rest of the 70% go on to make the most money. Funny you should say that....my work was with the education of another kind of professional. And there'd be about 10% that, when graduated, I'd go for miles to find them... to deal with a member of my family. And another 10% I'd think fair enough. This 20% is made up of the best problem solvers.... those who DON'T just reach for a 'recipe' based on not much evidence & even less risk management. I remember a study done some time ago with general practitioners in the US....re what specialists they refer people to. They were asked it 2 different ways...first, what specialists would they send their patients to.....& second, what specialists would they send a member of their family to. And the selections were significantly not the same. Edited October 1, 2007 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humans and dogs are two very different species. Sorry, off-topic, but WHAT a hairstyle That is unbelievably cute. I'll say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
