20.01.2022 How often do you need to bathe your dog? There is no correct answer for that question , but definitely not too often!!!. Washing your pet once a week is too often .When you wash your pets coat , you are washing not only dirt on his or her coat , but the natural oil layer as well.... This oil layer keeps the skin and hair moist and gives a shine to the coat. Excessive bathing or using strong shampoo removes the oil layer and skin can become flaky and inflamed. Bathing interval depends on the breed, activity, weather, nature of the coat . An inside dog with minimal outdoor activities and a short coat can have longer bathing intervals.

Bull Terrier 7. Pug 8. American and English Cocker Spaniels 9. Poodle Diagnosis Schirmer Tear Test Normal 15 mm wetting/min Management Can either be medical or surgical. Medical treatment - i.e. drops/ointment is tried for some time before we consider surgery as an option Treating the symptoms Treating the cause Cyclosporin is used as a 1% topical solution three times daily for 3 weeks. Eighty percent of early KCS cases when treated with cyclosporin will return to normal. Make sure the eyes are cleaned clear of all mucous before the cyclosporin is used. Use the artificial tears to clean out the eye. If the eyes have improved then cyclosporin alone may only be required once daily or every second day. Most dogs will require prolonged therapy. Dogs that have had dry eye for more than 6 months and those with initial tear test readings of less than 4 mm wetting/minute tend not to respond to cyclosporin. If there is a poor response to the initial Cyclopsorin treatment we may then consider a stronger form (2%) of the cyclosporin. This may irritate the eyes in some cases. If we find that the eyes become irritated by the cyclosporin solution we will then use cyclosporin ointment (Optimmune). Surgery Parotid duct transposition (PDT) can be considered when all alternative therapies have failed. This is when: Over 80% of dogs are comfortable after this surgery. In about 5% of cases the eye is still dry after surgery, and in another 10% of cases the eye is too wet after PDT surgery. In these cases dermatitis may develop from the overflow of tears. This may require more surgery. Some dogs may require ointment after PDT surgery. Decreasing the size of the eyelid openings can help stabilise the tear film, and reduce corneal exposure e.g. medial and lateral canthorrhaphies, or a permanent mid tarsorrhaphy. Without treatment 1. Profuse ocular discharge 2. Corneal scarring or ulceration 3. Blindness Source-Animal eye care -Malvern

10.01.2022 http://www.mobilevetclinic.com.au What Is A Cataract? A cataract is an opacity of the lens. The lens is normally clear and transparent and when a cataract forms the lens itself goes cloudy. A cataract is not a film or coating of the eye, but it is the lens protein, inside the lens capsule that becomes becomes cloudy. A cataract can affect just a small part of or the entire lens. Small cataracts may not have any affect on vision. If the cataract involves the entire lens in ...both eyes then vision will be absent. In the more advanced cataracts, you may notice that the pupil, which normally appears black, has undergone a colour change and becomes bluish or white. As the pupil opens and closes, this cloudiness may appear larger or smaller. The cataract is simply being covered and uncovered by the iris. What Can Cause A Cataract? There are many possible causes e.g. diabetes, inherited causes in purebred dogs, and PRA (progressive retinal atrophy), but often we do not find a specific cause. Breeds seen at Animal Eye Care with inherited cataracts include Cocker Spaniels, Poodles, Australian Cattle Dogs, Maltese, Boston Terriers, and Golden Retrievers. It is difficult (except in some diabetics) to look at a cataract and determine the cause. source- Animal Eye Care ,Malvern

07.01.2022 http://www.mobilevetclinic.com.au/ CHERRY EYE A cherry eye is a prolapse of the gland of the third eyelid. In some cases the cherry eye can be associated with eversion of the third eyelid cartilage.... The cause of the condition is unknown but is common in certain breeds, and may follow trauma to the eye. It seems to be common in younger dogs. Cherry eye commonly presents in one eye initially, but the second gland may also prolapse - sometimes many months or even years later. Breeds predisposed include Basset Hounds, Shar Peis, Maltese, Beagles, Bulldogs, Cocker Spaniels and Rottweilers. The inheritance of the condition is unknown. Possible problems caused by the prolapsed gland can include enlargement of the gland leading to conjunctivitis and even ulceration to the eye. Treatment Medical therapy such as drops & ointments are rarely effective. Surgery is indicated to permanently replace the gland. Removing the gland is not recommended as the gland produces 30-60% of the tears that protect the eyeball, and this can lead to dry eye. The gland is stitched back into place underneath the eye. This requires a general anaesthetic and half a day in hospital. After surgery the third eyelid may sit across the eye for 3 to 7 days. We find that in most cases there is very little swelling or postoperative discomfort after the surgery. In some breeds, especially the Basset Hound, the third eyelid may be too large, and it may be necessary to remodel the third eyelid. In some cases this may not become apparent until after the swelling related to the cherry eye and the surgery resolves. The most common problem we have is eversion of the third eyelid cartilage. In a small number of cases the suture that is used may break or pull through. More surgery will then be required. This happens in less than 2% of cases. Source -Animal Eye Care Malvern
