<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I just read Pam's post on glaucoma and was just
about to write my self on the subject. I decided to take Dice for a eye exam as
he was hesitating on the stair a few days ago. He had a complete eye check,
including pressure for glaucoma and also he got his angles done. I know his
parents were tested so I was pretty sure his eyes would check out , they did.
The doc explained to me that they check for open angles. If your dog has more
narrow angles they could be a more likely candidate for developing glaucoma, but
if they are checked and found to have more narrow angles they can start
prophylactic treatment which I am told can hold the disease back for about 30
months. It does not matter if your hounds has droopy eyes or not that is not an
indication of narrow or open angles. Hope this will help
someone.</FONT></DIV>
