What is PTVL??

had a guy want to breed his bitch to my stud dog. CERF says "normal" but in the comments section it says PTVL, what is that? I never had that comment?

persistent tunica vasculosa lentis (PTVL)

Looks like it's congenital, but you can contact CERF to find out the status in Labradors of this condition.

Did she get a CERF number, or are you looking at only the AVCO exam form that gets sent to CERF? If she has a CERF number you don't have an issue.

I got a CERF number, but don't know what this condition is
