I Love You
What do you see, Merc, when you look up with those warm, brown eyes?
Today, Merc visited an ophthalmology specialist, Dr. David Canton, DVM, DACVO. Merc suffers from Nyctalopia which is a fancy way of saying he doesn't see well in the dark. We went because some standard poodles can sometimes get Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), a progressive deterioration of the retinal cells that leads to blindness. Nyctalopia is a symptom of the disease. So far, there was nothing conclusive in the exam. That means that visually, the specialist couldn't find anything to indicate Merc has the disease. We're to go back in six months to see if Merc's retinas show any signs of degeneration. Updates to his eye status are below in comments.
Am I guilty of looking without seeing? Not today. Until the spring comes, I'll be watching out for you. When it's dark, stick by me, and we'll walk together.
I love you Merc.
