Announce the 38th Annual

CCCC All-Breed Eye Clinic

with KELLEY CORCORAN, D.V.M.
Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists

Saturday January 13, 2007

8 AM to 12 NOON
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.
