Season 2, Show #6 – Pet eye care
Dr. Caroline Gilje of the Barrett Station Veterinary Clinic joins guest host Annie Wilson in the studio to discuss pet eye care and answer caller questions.
Show notes:
- Cloudiness in the eye commonly occurs in three places: on the surface of the eye, in between the cornea and the iris (anterior chamber), and on the lens itself.
- Many cats and dogs get cloudiness on their lenses as an aging change.
- Feline Herpes (different from human herpes) can get in the eye and cause infections.
- Cocker Spaniels are known to get Glaucoma.
- The most common eye problem Dr. Caroline sees is injury to the cornea.
- When bathing your animal, protect their eyes, as soaps can burn pets' corneas.
- A caller's English Setter licks and bites himself until he draws blood. What can the caller do?
- A caller's Puggle's eyes water constantly. Is this the case with every breed with bulbous eyes?
- A caller's female Labrador limps periodically. Could this be a sign of Hip Dysplasia?
- A caller's female cat refuses to poop in her litter box. What can the caller do?
- Can a caller domesticate eight-month old feral cats?
- A caller's eighteen-year-old cat is shedding hair by the handful. What's the deal?
- Trivia question: How fast can housecats run? Can they run faster than human sprinters?
- Trivia question answer: Thirty-one miles per hour, faster than a human sprinter.
