can any1 help me out i am looking to find somewhere in Scotland  to get my dogs eyes tested

i had 1 of my bitches tested through 1 of our breed clubs last year but sadly they wont be holding a clinic
north of the border until next spring :(

i would like to have an up to date certificate for this year as i am planning a breeding with her

and also get my other 2 tested

any help would be greatly appreciated :D

Do SKC not hold sessions at their champ shows?  Not sure if it's both though

This list might be useful. There are three panelists in Scotland and Mr M Davidson is the vet the the SKC use at the Ch Sh sessions.

thanks for the replies and the link much appreciated :D

Malcolm Davidson is holding an eye session at Thrums vets in Kirriemuir on Wednesday 16th August if that's any use to you. :D He also holds sessions at SKC in both May and August. You don't have to enter your dog at the show for this, but it is easier to do if you are already going ;) He also tests at his own practice in Edinburgh.

Hi Lindylou, any idea how to get booked in to that- is it just a case of phoning the vets.  I don't show my staff but would like her eyes done.

Yes, just phone the vets practice. The main one in Kirriemuir (they also have clinics in Blairgowrie and Forfar, and I think in Alyth) It's quite dear though, compared to SKC, but cheaper than travelling to Edinburgh and getting tested there :) You don't have to be a member of the practice for this. Mr Davidson comes up a couple of times a year, so even if you can't get it done this time there is always next time.

Thanks for that.  I'm in Dundee but work in Forfar so that would be great.  I'll call on Monday.

I'd wait until Tuesday - holidays?!? Not sure if the vets will be shut, so don't be surprised if they are. They might only be open to emergencies.
