You are so lucky. We had one opthalmologist for the whole province of British Columbia. He retired after trying for years to find a partner to help him in his practice. Now the clinic is closed and the only time we can get eyes done is when he is hosting an eye clinic. Before he closed his office I always had all puppies (complete litters) done at 7 weeks of age. At the last eye clinic that I took all the adults to, everyone passed and the opthalmologist comented 'this is the way eyes should look'. Now I only do the ones I keep when I can find a clinic because I will not take young pups who have not had any vaccinations to a clinic. Vaccinations are done by my vet after each pup has had an examination. I used to do them myself, after taking the pups in for an exam but I found that many vets would not acknowledge the breeders vaccinations and insist that the pet owner do 3 more shots for full protection. -- Brigitte Falch Kibergo Cavaliers Reg'd Maple Ridge, BC, Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://alescosys.com/kibergo For the life of your dog - FASTRACK - now available in Canada ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
