RE: Please read!
Thanks--will do!
All is
well. We spent 2 hours at the dog field tonight and had so much fun. They are
both pooped out now. Rocket has a hot spot so that's the only bad thing. And of
course the wacko sniper killing people in our area! They better not aim
for Milka or Rocket!

Gina,
Any advice for those
of us not near the clinics?
Thanks, Karin
Hi Karin,
et others away,
Go to this link for a listing of DACVO Veterinary
Ophthalmologist in your area:
http://www.vet.purdue.edu/~yshen/cerf.html
You
can call the eye vet closest to you and either make an appointment for their
office, or enquire if the vet is going to be at a private low cost clinic
anytime soon. The type of test or appointment you want to ask for is a
CERF exam. You do not want a "ophthalmologic appointment" those
normally will run from $80.00 up. CERF only exam which is a
comprehensive exam will be like $40.00.
Option B: Kennel Club
hosted clinic
These are often run by all-breed kennel clubs and are at
dog shows. Also you can check the GRCA site: www.grca.org for the closest
Golden Club (GRC) near you, contact the club ask them when they are planning
on hosting a CERF clinic near you. Kennel Club clinics are going to be the
most cost effective clinics at between $25.00 to $35.00 per dog.
If you get this done, make 2 copies of the form you will be provided
and send me a copy and keep a copy in your records. You would send me a
copy for my records and so I can submit it to VetGen for the
study. On the back of the CERF form is instructions on how to
submit the form to CERF but we also need to submit to VetGen so do make
copies, original has to go to CERF. Cost is $10.00 per submission.
You will need a copy of your AKC registration to fill out your part of the
form for any exam... These instructions are usually given by the clinic
but you have a heads up...
Karin- you should have a copy of Rocket's
eye clearance in the stuff that IIene sent with him to look at for an
example...
How are things going with Rocket and Milka, I assume
good since you have been so quite! Or maybe just to busy being a
referee? <evil grin>
Hope this helps!
Gina
