Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Cloudy eye Mon Aug 17, 2015 1:30 pm | |
| We noticed Saturday that our 11 month old malamute's eye has become very cloudy. She doesn't seem bothered by it but it seems to be getting worse. I know in humans that if you take a picture with flash, both eyes should glow red or it may indicate serious issues so I tried it with her. The cloudy eye is not glowing red in the picture. My question is, should I take her to our family vet or keep our appointment with the canine opthamologist? I don't know if the vet has the means to diagnose it and I don't know if the opthamologist is an overkill... |

| I will give you our experience with our boy being diagnosed with Juvenile Cataracts. He did not have any outward signs. Our regular vet noticed it at his regular annual checkup and referred us to a canine ophthalmologist to understand the extent of the issue.
If you already know something is going on, I'd go straight to the specialist and save the exam fee at your regular vet since they will likely refer you anyways. You may want to see which specialists your regular vet prefers to work with though. That's just my personal opinion though. If it seems to be getting bad quickly and you can't get into the eye doctor immediately, you may want to check in with your regular doctor assuming they are easier to get in with. |

| I have to agree with Sara here; you're describing a classic case of cataracts since the light isn't reflecting (or is being stopped by something) from the back of her eye.
Take a look at this WikiPedia link for a beter explanation about "eyeshine" and "redeye" and (or?) this one for information on Juvenile Cataracts in Huskies. _________________ “Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.” Corey Ford . |
