Characteristics corneal dystrophy in each dog breeds

In the previous article, entitled corneal dystrophy disease in dogs, corneal dystrophy is actually between the disease in dogs with one other dog has different characteristics, the following I try to give some of the characteristics in each dog breeds:

In beagle dogs, corneal dystrophy may begin the early age of 3 years. Beagles usually have either the anterior stromal opacity or one that involves all layers of the stromal. Opacity last the oval, like cloud lesions.

Siberian Huskies have a form of corneal dystrophy like crystalloids. It is inherited as a recessive trait and appears round or oval horizontal. Initially as a mist, gray spreads in the anterior stroma and can develop into crystals or gray-brown opaque deposits in the anterior stroma, or involving the posterior part of the stroma or stroma throughout. Form of dystrophy usually begins between 4 to 26 months of age.

Shetland Sheepdogs have corneal dystrophy which may begin as early as 4.5 months of age and usually lasts a lifetime. It usually manifests as a round gray or white small beginning in the middle of the cornea and then developing peripheral elsewhere. This condition is an epithelial dystrophy, which means it is in the superficial layer of the cornea. Its corneal dystrophy is inherited but the mode of inheritance is unknown.

Chihuahuas’ has the form of corneal dystrophy that usually begins later in the day, 5 to 10 years. Its mode of inheritance is unknown. This disease begins as a buildup of fluid on the corneal dystrophy due to the inability to act as a water barrier to keep the fluid inside the eye of the soak into the corneal stroma. Fluid buildup that causes cornea looks white. It begins at the edge of the cornea, the progress of the center and often involves the entire cornea, causing the cornea appears to thicken. Fluid can accumulate under the epithelium and picked it up, causing painful corneal ulcers are extremely difficult to treat.

Corneal dystrophy in dogs

Health partners in the previous article has explained what's corneal dystrophy, now I will discuss in more detail about corneal dystrophy in dogs, corneal dystrophy is usually an inherited disease and is most common in dogs, to find out whether your pet dog diseased corneal dystrophy then look in his eyes if there is a change in eye color. Does eye color changed to bluish-white?

Diagnosis
If yes immediately take your dog to the vet, and ask your veterinarian if your dog is affected by corneal dystrophy in dogs, make sure your vet carefully examined the eyes of the dog to the right diagnosis. Your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical examination on your dog, ranging from the ophthalmic examinations, blood chemistry profile, complete virgin count, electrolytes until urinalysis

Corneal dystrophy

Before explaining what is Corneal dystrophy, Health Partners tried to explain a little about how eyes work, to saw we need a light to see objects that are all around us, and to differentiate colors from each other, the object being viewed first of all reflected by light, the reflection of light before we can define different colors.

Like the camera, the eye can be compared to the process taking pictures on film, the retina is like film which stores an image of what we are seeing, the image is directed onto the retina is then saved to the brain. And in order to focus the image captured that not vague, and then assisted by the cornea is set to fall exactly at the midpoint of the image the retina.
