Re: Posterior Cataracts

me too...
yes, I had this on a very nice girl, and made the decision to use her. her puppies were clear, as were her grandpuppies. with TVD and other major issues that effect the health of our dogs, I decided this was a small enough issue to decide to use her anyway......


Her puppies were clear? What about when those puppies grew up? Dogs often don't show signs of blindness until it's complete. Blindness is not a small issue. I would follow the opinion of the specialist.

Re: Posterior Cataracts

My cerf dr said that posterior cataracts do not cause blindness and they are different than Juvenile cataracts. I thought that posterior cataracts used to be " Breeders Option on the Cerf report but not any more.
