indigirl Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Melbourne EyeVet, Australia's newest and foremost animal eye specialist clinic, is keen to work with dog breeders around Victoria. We want to make it easier for breeders to get ACES certificates done on their dogs. We are currently based in Hallam but have two ACES clinics coming up - one at Traralgon on the 19th of April and one at KCC Park on the 12th of June. If you would like to make an appointment or to find out more, please contact Melbourne EyeVet on 0430163640 or 0418329697. We would also love to hear from breeders and breed clubs who would like to organise clinics. We are happy to travel for large groups of dogs.

oakway Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 As far as I am aware the Italian Greyhound community now have a DNA test for eyes that is done at Davis in the States is this the type of thing you are asking about ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonwoman Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) As far as I am aware the Italian Greyhound community now have a DNA test for eyes that is done at Davis in the States is this the type of thing you are asking about ?. The ACES test is a physical exam by a veterinary ophthalmologist which some breeds require and others recommend.......DNA tests are separate, at least they are with my guys.......... ETA my dogs have available DNA tests for eye disease and ACES at maturity, don't bother with ACES again until 8 years.........some breeds have issues which need examination at six weeks and yearly follow ups, some diseases are apparent early, others in later years, when it comes to eyes we have to follow latest best practice...........and sometimes we discover something no-one ever knew was there and all dogs get tested for that specifically by specialists from then on!!!
