Cataracts/nuclear Scelerosis

[Mizzi]

Well, I have great news!

We went to see the opthamologist this morning. Lovely man called Jeff Smith from the Eye Clinic for Animals. Ardee doesn't have nuclear sclerosis or cataracts! He had a look at both eyes, put in some eye drops, made us wait for a bit, and then had another good indepth look. Said it was just the normal deterioration that you'd expect in a dog of nearly twelve! I'm going to start Ardee on the bilberry and Vitamin E supplement and see how he goes on those. I'm very happy!

Great news Sheridan!

Keep us posted.

Hi There, I am new to this site. I have been following this thread and I am so very happy for you that Ardee's eyes are ok.

I have a shar pei who is only 2 and a while ago I seen cloudiness and a shade of blue in his eye that was since treated but not for cataracts or anything serious so while reading this thread I have been having heart attacks that maybe my sharpei was misdiagnosed. Have you started the vitamin E and bilberry yet?

Hi Brig, welcome

The shar pei crew are all in here link. Pop in and say hi. Has your boy had eye problems, an ulcer, tacking or entropian surgery?

The best way to check is to take him to a canine opthamologist. I haven't started on the bilberry and vitamin e yet but only because I keep forgetting to give it to him.
