It is operable without too much problem, but it's a question whether an ordinary vet would do it or whether you would need a specialist.
Have a look at:-
http://www.fordogssake.co.uk/shop/infor ... nfo_id=209 Does it look like this one? If not can you zoom in a bit on one eye and post the picture please?
Regards, John
Really not quite sure how to do this, it will let me zoom but when i try and save the changes it will let me, but when I reopen it the picture is exactly the same.
If i email the photo's to Glenys can she pass them onto you?

I found this sight on Sunday when I was looking for anything similar to her eyes, and it is the one that my vet will be referring her to once I place the call later this morning. It is always good to have some feedback though.
Even though my vet's are very good sometimes some things can just stump them and they need further help. I must admit I am glad that they were honest enough to admit that they weren't sure and suggested a specialist as this in the long run will save time and money by not guessing and giving her various medications etc.
Will keep you all posted.
I think that referring on to a specialist is the sign of a good vet
Everything crossed for this beautiful girl.

Poor girl. She looks so gentle. Fingers crossed she can be treated successfully. Any idea how old she might be? Julia and Barney

She is adorable, she is extremely gentle.
She is only young, although she has got her adult teeth there is no sign of decay and they are really clean so looking at her teeth and looking at Bailey's (who is nearly 2) I would put her to be about 2 - 3 and the vet thinks that she probably is. Although you really never can tell.

Poor Jet - she looks so beautiful and she reminds me so much of my little Polly who was totally blind for the last fourteen months of her life. Good luck little girl, you are in good hands now and everything that can be done for you will be done.

I am starting a little fund raising operation of my own to help with costs for her.
I am going to call it "Pound for a Hound". I am going to ask everyone I know for a £1.00 all my family and friends and even the local dog walkers no-one will be safe from my begging, might get Matthew on the case as well and set up a little poster for her so he can collect a £1 from everyone in the pub, (might get a little bit more depending on how much they've drunk)
Every little helps.

Awh, Karen, what a lovely idea...agree with the pub idea...all the men I know hate carrying shrapnel in pockets and have it jangling about on nights out

That's a wonderful idea Karen. I've sent a few pounds for this particular hound direct to Glenys.
