In the interest of breeding better dogs genetically, all breeding stock should be examined and cleared annually by a VETERINARIAN OPHTHALMOLOGIST to continue in any breeding program. Inherited eye anomalies are not always detected with the “naked eye” or by your veterinarian. From Dr. Corcoran . . . . The examination covers almost all portions of the eye. Depending on the breed and age of the dog, the following diseases can be detected: Cataract (opacity of the lens), especially the genetic type in many breeds especially in: Spaniels, Retrievers, Siberians, and Schnauzers* Progressive retinal atrophy, a serious blinding disease, especially in: Poodles, Spaniels, Retrievers, Siberians, and Schnauzers* Retinal dysplasia, an abnormal development of a portion (or all) of the retina, especially in: Cockers, Springers, Labs, Goldens, and Corgis. Retinal folds, (a less serious problem than Retinal Dysplasia) in: Cockers, Springers, Labs, Goldens, Corgis, and Samoyeds. Persistent pupillary membrane, occurs in all breeds, but is most important in: Corgis, Basenjis, and English Cockers. Collie eye anomaly, a birth defect in: Collies, Shelties, and Aussies. Corneal dystrophy, especially in Siberians. many other breeds and problems
The exam is a general eye exam, which can also detect non-genetic abnormalities and problems. However, it is not a medical examination for existing problems; it is a screening exam for dogs which may enter the breeding arena.
