2012 Eye Clinic
The Mid-Hudson Kennel Association will be sponsoring the 2012 Eye Clinic on October 28th at the Rhinebeck Animal Hospital, 6450 Montgomery Street, Rhinebeck, NY (see map). There was a great turnout for our last Eye Clinic, with 103 animals checked, including several cats.
Dr. Thomas Kern, a board certified ophthalmologist from Cornell University, has been conducting the Clinic for the past several years. This is a CERF (Canine Eye Registration Foundation) Clinic. CERF works to eliminate heritable eye disease in purebred dogs through its registry and research. Specialists certified by the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists provide painless examinations of dogs and send their findings to the CERF headquarters at Purdue University. This information is helpful in studying trends in eye disease and breed susceptibility.
Be sure to join us again for next year’s Eye Clinic. Remember--it's is not just for MHKA members' dogs--anyone can sign up to have their dog's eyes checked. Dr. Kern will even do an eye exam for cats and other pets. For cost and more information, contact Nancy Jozefowicz at at jjozefowicz@hvc.rr.com.
