[NAGDU] Iris Cyst

[Mill We;]

Hi Lisa, 

My previous guide dog had a similar issue. She had a cyst on her eye That my vet also said was rare.  we were then sent to see an  auphthalmologist specialist who said that it was benign but that if possible, I should have it removed. I don’t know if what my previous dog had and what your dog currently have are the same. But, the ophthalmologist that we saw also said that the cyst did not interfere with her vision. I ultimately ended up having the cyst removed. The guide dog school where I got my previous dog from did the Cyst removal  surgery themselves. Unfortunately though, she retired not long after the surgery due to other reasons that had nothing to do with the cyst removal. she did have the cyst on her eye several years before we decided to remove it and it did not impact her vision or effect  her work  at all. 

Anyway, hope this helps at least a little bit.Good luck and I hope all works out.

Milissa

He said most of the time these are benign cysts that do not impact the dog's vision or over all health negatively.?? He doesn't see them often enough to be sure, though, so he's referred us to a canine ophthalmologist.
