My blog Poor MarleyTook Marley to meet our vet who is a lovely man and after giving him a good examination told us he has a cataract in his right eye. Comments 19 Sep 2009 20:22 Marley´s only 14mths and our vet has said if he operates it will affect his distance vision,so we are leaving it to see how quickly(but hopefully slowly) it develops.It could worsen in a matter of months or could be years so he´s just getting regular check-ups.....fingers x´ed Member Removed 19 Sep 2009 19:32 how old is Marley as my last g.s.d Zara who died 3years ago aged 17yrs had cataract in her eyes but she still managed to get about she had hers since she was 14yrs old. 06 Sep 2009 09:50 Yes when we had Akitas, we had to have eye checks, as they have eye problems to. 06 Sep 2009 09:35 can be, but the problem being we dont know if this is genetic or just started to develop,obviously cos we dont know where he came from we dont know if his breeder had him eye and hip checked. |
