Just a bit of an update about our puppy with a cataract, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.  My husband took her to the specialist opthalmologist yesterday and we have a bit of a wierd diagnosis.

He said that our puppy had a deformation at the BACK of the lens, that the white star shaped area wasnt at the front of the lens like a cataract would be it was a congenital problem that meant that her lens hadnt developed properly.  He also said that the liquid inside the eye was not clear and that it was a bit murky.  He didnt mention a cataract operation at all.  In effect she is blind in that eye.

Now as my husband took her and not me (I was in hospital, but thats another story :( ) I have only got his version of what he remembered.  So I have left a message with the vet to give me a call and tell me if they could still  and replace the lens the same as in a cataract op.

Has anyone else heard of this?

Hi Janice sorry to hear she's blind i'm in abit of a similar situation myself, good luck warm regards Susan.
