I made an appointment for Otis to get his CERF done next thursday..it turned out being very affordable, only $35. Now when I look at his eyes I see nothing, and I have looked him up and down..typical. That doesn't mean anything I know, but I am hopeful

Did you ask if the Ophthalmologist has basenji experience. There is a specific way that the eye exam needs to happen with basenjis. I'm pretty sure that the doctor needs to check the eyes first, then do the drops (wait the specified time) and then re-check the eyes.

Yes that's right the eyes are looked at first then drops are put in then they are re-checked again after about 15 mins or so.

I did tell them that he was a Basenji and they were very aware ofB's so of course Itook that as them knowing, but I will call them back this am and ask more specifically. So they should look at eyes before drops, put drops in wait alotted time and then recheck?

I just spoke to the eyeclinic and they do what needs to be done as far as B's CERF. Check eyes, drops in , recheck eyes. So now we have to wait until june 25th for Otis' appt. Will keep y'all updated as to how it turns out.

I'm taking Buddy in on Friday. I have used this place called Veterinary Vision for 3 years as my black and white had eye problems that needed checking every 6 months. The lens slipped in the right eye loosing vision and she had to have these very, very expensive eye drops called Xalatan to save the left lens from slipping all the way. The lens becomes loose internally and moves around and the drops keep the pupil small and the pressure low.

Xalatan is used for Glaucoma (lowing eye pressure) among other things

That's correct. I actually used a brand from COSTCO called Travatan which is a little cheaper, $65 for 4mil that does the same thing. 2 drops/day lasts about 5 weeks. A friend got me the same brand a few times from Mexico for $30, half the cost.
