  1. I guess people can also ask the question why people breed with untested animals or animals with other known conditions - who knows?

    Provided breeders are responsible and get their dogs eyes tested are are honest and open about the results, hopefuly being well informed we can lesson the occurance of issues arising in the breed.

    Well said !!! This is something that amazes me also......and p's me off no end!

    I would have to agree …

    Although wouldn’t that then raise the issue of What is a Responsible Breeder? As some breeders do Gino testing, others don’t and some never do it all together?

    Not to mention then there is always the issue of some Breeders making up fake results just so their kennel, pride and ego’s remain intact.

    Some breeders are open and honest but everyone has skeletons in their closet.

    …….. After all we are all human.

  2. Can any one recommend a vet that is decent in price. I need another

    Just took one of my rescue dogs (4kilos) in for a C3 vac and checkup $91

    To desex him is $192 any pain relief is extra $35

    To me this is just to expensive, both testies are hanging so its simple surgery

    Hey Storm,

    Ok one of the best to go to is PetVax .. although for vaccinations l would go with the Grange Vets

    which is on the north side.

    It really comes down to what you are after and how often you do it? As l have a few places l could recommend

    you to go to as l also live in Brissy.

    Hope this helps if not just pm me

    Cheers

  3. Im not sure whats going on here but it feels like its a bit nasty and sarcastic. I think part of the problem is that one is seeing 'eye exam' as those conditions listed above ; Congenital eye diseases examined in Aust and NZ are CEA (Collie Eye Anomaly), MRD (Multifocal Retinal Dysplasia), TRD (Total Retinal Dysplasia), CHC (Congenital Hereditary Cataract), GHPV (Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous), PPM (Persistent Pupillary Membrane) and G (Goniodysgenesis).

    Non Congenital eye diseases checked on examination are GPRA (Generalised Progressive Retinal Atrophy), RPED (Retinal Pigment Epithelial Dystrophy), HC (Hereditary Cataract), PPL (Primary Lens Luxation).

    as being tested but you may be forgetting that these are not the only eye conditions which are of a heritable nature which will most definitely cause tearing and should cause a failed eye test.I bred a litter of beagles once which failed their eye tests because 3 in the litter had districhiasis.

    Epiphora or blocked tear ducts are not the only eye condition which causes tear staining and any vet can pick up several eye issues which are not on the above list which will cause this which are not associated with the actual tear duct.

    Entropian,trichiasis,districhiasis ,corneal ulcers are a few .These are seen by the naked eye so they dont come under the things normally looked at by a specialist eye vet because the assumption is that they will be picked up in any vet surgery.That doesnt mean the causes are not genetic or that anyone is saying something which isnt true.

    If you add apple cider vinegar to the drinking water it will stop the staining but not the cause of the watery eyes.

    Actually Steve, I am the one who is not sure what is going on here......

    Why are you responding to my post or any of the posts on here?? Surely you have more important things to do as a forum moderator?...... it feels to me like playing favourites.....

    Believe me - you would know if I was being sarcastic or nasty when I write something - it would leave NO doubt. :rainbowbridge:

    I was just wondering what the diagnosis was to lead to such a statement about drainage angles and tear staining.....I have a distinct aversion to only getting snippets of information - why post if you won't tell the full story - sans names of course...

    I am a registered nurse of 20 years experience - I have been in dogs 15 years and have a great interest in all canine genetics specifically disorders of the Gastro-intestinal kind and eye diseases in Siberian Huskies.....

    I just don't make it known as when you go off on a long explaination about disease/disease processes and genetics most people turn off or don't fully understand the words etc......

    I believe totally in Keep It Simple.....and I like to be able to have my say, in my way without feeling like people are going to run off and tell on me......this is just too weird

    I dont believe it is against the rules for a moderator to have input into an open conversation on the forum especially when they have good advice... nor do l believe Steve was playing favourites .. as where in the comments does it even indicate this?

    "Believe me - you would know if I was being sarcastic or nasty when I write something - it would leave NO doubt. :("

    As far as l believe when it comes to the DOL forum it is against Forum Rules to be nasty. As set out in Rules 1. No Racism, Threats, Personal Attacks, Victimisation or Hateful posts. If you can't have a discussion without resorting to attacking the other person, then don't post. Occasionally discussions on here will become heated depending on the topic, so if you find it hard trying to keep your emotions in check, take time out and go away to cool off. Any thread that descends into a slanging match will result in participants being appropriately dealt with.

    "it feels like its a bit nasty and sarcastic" well l'm sorry to say but l agree with Steve.

    Now moving back to the Forum Topic at hand ... if Wildchild would like to PM me l have a question l would like to ask.

    However l do understand if you only wish for this Topic to remain on post. Thanks
