Elfin Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Just putting feelers out, following on from a thread in Breeder's Forum: If a veterinary ophthalomolgist was to go to Wodonga and/or Wagga for an eye clinic, would there be many people interested? Please let me know, and how many dogs you may need certification for. Prices would be very competitive. A bit about the Australian Canine Eye Scheme Registered Veterinary Ophthalmologists are bound by the Australian College Of Veterinary Scientists (Ophthalmology Chapter) to perform ACES exclusively (ie. they are not allowed to perform any other eye certification) for breed certification purposes. The aim of the internationally recognised ACES Scheme is to be a national scheme, equivalent to the American CERF and the British BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme. It is to ensure consistency and allow for the collation of breed statistics that are annually reported to the individual Breed Clubs. This annual report does not state individual results, but only the number of dogs of that breed screened and the number (if any) affected by specific conditions.

Elfin Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Updated to include Wagga.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfin Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Anyone?! There seems to be some (understandable) discontent in the Breeder's Forum re the cost of ACES eye testing. If I can get enough numbers, I will organise a specialist trip to Wagga and Albury/Wodonga (and perhaps even Canberra) that will probably cost less than HALF of what you are currently paying!! I need numbers to convince the boss, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfin Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Woot Woot! Now we are getting somewhere! Thanks guys, and keep 'em coming!! We would be looking at around $75 (depending on numbers, perhaps even less), compared to the $195-$200 you are paying now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bring two to Wagga. Wodonga is too far for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a group of 4 -7 dogs out there we need done for research.We are trying to help them out with costs and the guy that normally vists out there has no mercy price wise! We would need eye pressure taken as well.Who knows there well may be other breeds out there that need doing. I am talking about bull terrier miniatures.
