I had a puppy checked at 8 weeks (NORMAL) by Dr. A.... and then again at 16 months (minor fold on outer edge of one eye) by Dr. B....then at 28 months (GRD in both eyes) by Dr. C. The interesting thing is that this puppy was seen by three different Board Certified Specialists. Recently I took this puppy to a different ophthalmologist....Dr. D and guess what.....(NORMAL)..at 3 years of age. FYI, both parents were CERF'd normal as puppies....and continue to CERF normal.
