Hi everyone,
I'm scheduled to go see a 15 wk old puppy in 2 days. I just received a message from the breeder that she has retinal detachment in one eye.
Per her message, "She has a very small part of her retina that has detached. It will not get worse, she will not go blind, what she has is what it will be forever."
I found the breeder from the CKCSC website. The parents are eye,heart,hip, and patella cleared.
It sounds like the breeder had her checked by a vet recently and found out about this issue.
We've been exchanging emails for about 2 weeks now and this is the first time she mentioned this problem.
Is retinal detachment considered a minor problem in cavaliers?
What would you do if you were in my situation?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Maggie
