24.01.2022 Meet Sunny the adorable kitten who was giving us a hand in examining our patients eyes the other day. Sunny is currently being cared for by Kittie Kat Rescue Inc. and came to see us due to a herpetic keratitis which had unfortunately caused his right cornea to rupture and secondary glaucoma. It was non-visual and painful, so therefore the best option was to enucleate Sunny's right eye. All the ECA staff have fallen in love with little Sunny and his sassy attitude and we are so happy to see him doing well.

23.01.2022 Last week we met the gorgeous Alibi from Artic Breed Rescue. Though he has been diagnosed with congenital glaucoma, he remains at a comfortable level for now and we will continue to monitor him very closely along with the rescue group.

22.01.2022 The gorgeous Monteverde came to visit the Eye Clinic a few weeks ago with a mysterious facial swelling of an unknown cause. Dr Kelly Caruso then performed an ocular ultrasound where she spotted what appeared to be a hyperechoic foreign body within the swelling. Under anaesthetic, Dr Caruso discovered that the foreign body was in fact a grass seed!... Monteverde has since made a full recovery and is once again a happy, playful pup.

21.01.2022 Meet Layla who came to see Dr Cameron recently on one of our regional trips to the ACT, at Greencross Vets Tuggeranong. Her owner had recently adopted Layla and was a bit worried about possible glaucoma, but luckily she got pretty much the all clear for her eyes, besides having some eyelashes that were growing the wrong way (distichia).

21.01.2022 We know it has been very hard for our clients in today's current situation not being able to come into the hospital with their beloved pets. But as you can see from Hope here with nurse Felipe, they are being pampered and loved as if they were one of our own pets. She was lapping up all the love and attention.

20.01.2022 As restrictions due to Covid-19 begin to ease across the state, the way we have been running our consults will continue to change. We will be sure to keep you updated. In the meantime, our team will continue to give your pets extra love and cuddles, while you cannot be there.

17.01.2022 Ash, the beautiful Golden Retriever, came to see us to get an ACES certificate (an all clear on his eyes for breeding purposes). His eyes were perfect and we all feel in love with him, especially Dru who is one of our amazing admin team members!

15.01.2022 Appa, the gorgeous 2 month old Maremma Sheepdog, came to see us as an emergency as her right eye had unfortunately had an interaction with the family cat's claw. Though the cornea had healed nicely, the claw had penetrated into the lens and a cataract had formed (in only a matter of one day!). You can see in the photo of Appa's eye, the tiny point of entry (the brown mark near the centre of her eye) and the blue cloudiness is some corneal edema. Her ultrasound shows no sign o...f retina detachment thankfully! She then went into surgery straight away with Dr Cameron Whittaker to have her entire lens capsule removed. Luckily for Appa this will not affect her vision greatly, as we use our lens for finer focus and Appa will never have to read a book in her life. She is currently healing well, and we are all very happy for little Appa, as she has an important role to protect her families chickens and ducks.

13.01.2022 Tongues out Tuesday with the super gorgeous Matthew and our nurse Bec #tonguesouttuesday

11.01.2022 Another very cute tongues out Tuesday with Juliette the chihuahua and nurse Mayara #tonguesouttuesday

10.01.2022 Gruffydd (pronounced Griffith) the cutest little fluffball, came to see us as the owners were worried about a discolouration in his right eye. Luckily for them and Gruffydd this is a harmless yet uncommon condition called heterochromia iridis. It basically is when the iris is different colours and it can be congenital, which is likely with Gruffydd as he was less than 3 months old when we saw him. The rest of his eye examination was perfect and no treatment was needed.

09.01.2022 Meet Bonnie, a lovely 1 year old DSH, who came to us in May after the owners noticed that eye had been turning white over the past few weeks. It turned out the right eye had a mature cataract with a pigment dispersion and blood vessel growth onto the anterior lens capsule, as you can see in the first photo of Bonnie's eye. Dr Cameron performed a difficult cataract surgery only a few weeks later, and since then Bonnie has continued to do well. She is visual and comfortable, and is always super brave at her rechecks.

08.01.2022 On one of our recent regional trips Dr Jeff and Dr Ben examined the gorgeous Oscar, a 30 year old Cockatoo, for possible cataracts. It turned out Oscar only had some old age change to his left lens, and would only need to be seen again if he became uncomfortable in either eye.

04.01.2022 Tears used to be thought of as essentially a type of salt water mixture. However, we now appreciate tears to be a complex soup of various components, principally containing lipids (a type of fat), mucin (the constituent of mucous) and fluid. If any of these components are deficient, then ocular surface disease will ensue. Ocular surface disease is a vastly under-recognised, and difficult to diagnose phenomenon in our canine patients. Often this is seen with very vague signs ...and symptoms, such as eye weeping, sporadic eye squinting, eye gunk formation and other non-specific signs. Fortunately, we have the only ocular surface analysis (OSA) unit in Australia for use in veterinary patients. This machine allows us to assess the individual components of the tear film and see why these symptoms are occurring. Even more promisingly, this allows us to treat the underlying cause of these issues by tailoring our therapy to address the issue at hand. Here you can see a photograph of the apparatus being used on the gorgeous Tessie, a 2 year old Labradoodle, that presented with a mucoid discharge, and some amazing images generated from the machine.
