Golden Retriever Club Qld Inc – Heart And Eye Clinic
– Carolyn Ryan On the 21 and 22 September 2022, the Golden Retriever Club of Qld Inc, held its second Heart and Eye Clinic for 2022.
This clinic is open to all breeds. On this occasion we had 13 different breeds of dogs attend for either heart or eye appointments, many seeing both specialists.
We are truly fortunate to have the support of specialists Dr Geoffrey Nicolson BVSc (Hons) MVETSTUD Dipl. ECVIM-CA (Cardiology), Specialist Veterinary Cardiologist, and Dr Michael E Bernays BVSc(Hons) FANZCVSc(Ophthalmology) Registered Specialist in Veterinary Ophthalmology Veterinary Director, Animal Eye Services. Without the support of these wonderful specialists, the clinics would not be possible.
We would also like to thank the members who came along with their dogs and appreciate their patience and co-operation. It’s a huge undertaking to coordinate these clinics and we do appreciate your patronage.
We are continually looking at ways to improve these clinics. Due to the high demand, we may in future, need to limit the number of dogs per individual breeder. This will give more breeders the opportunity to see the specialists in the one convenient location.
Lastly, thank you to the members of the Golden Retriever Club of Qld Inc, who happily came to help wrangle dogs, administer eye drops, and generally supported the club. We can’t do it without you!!!
