    PPM? (Persistent pupillary membranes)

    Would not be PPM. PPM is visable when they open their eyes at birth. Even with very heavy PPM, it looks like a spider web in the eye.. not a spot. Heavy PPM at birth (when they open their eyes make the eye look blue as it is a sheeting over the eye. As the eye grows, the PPM doesn't, it sort of like a rubber band that pulls and breaks, but heavy PPM is still visable to the naked eye. But again at his age, it would really just look like a spider web. Since PPM is there from the time they open their eyes, you would have seen it way before now if it was still causing a clouding of the eye.

    Could be many things, Cataracts come to mind even at this age. That is why best to have it check by a board certified Ophthalmologists

  • Good info to know Tanza! Im def. getting him checked…hope he's not starting to go blind in that eye...that would stink...since hes only 4yrs old.

    It's so good to have your news and update on Kipawa - he is certainly growing to be a well mannered young man with his care for your sister's dog and the cat. We have the same problem with 'Bunnies' Our windows are strengthened but I can always envisage a total of 40+ kilos of Basenji hurtling through them after the 'Bunnies'! Always a dream, I hope!!

    If possible have Sonny meet the potential roommate on neutral ground, a walk together in a park or a small dog park. They may not be "love at first sight" but if they don't hate each other, and play a little, they will probably be OK. A pair of neutered boys can be best buddies, male/female pairs sometimes bond very closely and sometimes not so much, keep an open mind for a good personality match and you will love what you get, and so will Sonny! Good luck! Nothing like getting your dog a dog! Nicky is Topper's dog, and Eddie is hers.

    I found a tea tree spray (aka melaluca) at the local, large feed store. In the horse sections with all the other good stuff.

    I think most of us animal lovers are very hard on ourselves. I believe that our beloved critters are looking down on us, saying "Hey, you did the best for me when I was well, and we will be together again, one day, so lets remember the good times!". Major hugs to all you folks. I think your all wonderful!
