CATARACTS QUESTION!!!!!!

Post by dkjdsn on Sat May 17, 2008 3:34 pm

OMG!!! I very concerned about Turbos Eye sight!!! It seemed that Turbos eye sight was kinda off from the day I brought him home. As I searched on the web concerning eye sight problems in Dogs, I discovered that Terrier type of Dogs often have or get dog Cataracts!! So I’m very concerned that Turbo might have Cataracts!!!! The center of his eyes are dark but the outside of the eyes are much lighter!!! Is this cataracts??? When I looked it up on the web for pictures, I wasn’t able to find pictures of the eye with cataracts that look similar to Turbos!! So I’m very disturbed and concerned!!! Does anyone have any pictures of an eye with cataracts?? Eye that is dark in the middle and cloudy on the outside?? Any info will be great!!!

Look What I mean!!

Puppies often have paler irises (spelling?)....in chateracts the centre of the eye looks cloudy.

can't really tell from the picture but i think his eyes look fine. Why do you think he has vision problems?

Have you had him checked over by a vet? I would take him to the vet again to ask specifically about his eyes, if only to put your mind at rest.

This dog has a cateract in its left eye.

That is what a cateract looks like close up - see the lense of the eye is cloudy rather than just the coloured part.
