Please plan to bring your Cairn Terriers (other breeds also welcome) to our Eye Clinic. Come for eye health, stay for the potluck lunch.

Based on what is known from research, pet Cairn Terriers over the age of two should be checked every year for signs of ocular melanosis and for eye disease generally until they are at least 13 years old. The exams are painless and take only a few minutes. If you read the attached information we think you’ll agree that regular eye health screenings are important for our own dogs’ health and well-being, as well as for our breed’s future.

  Additional Information

The Eye Clinic will be held Sunday morning, July 13, with appointments beginning at 10:00 AM on a more-or-less first-come, first-served basis. Multiple dogs from the same home can be scheduled back-to-back to make it easier for you to get them all done at once.

Our vet will be Dr. Paul Scherlie Jr., DVM, Diplomate ACVO. Exams will be only $17/Cairn or $20 for any other breed – both represent a substantial discount! The clinic will be held at Marcella Cobb’s Misty Meadows Kennels in Boring Oregon (address below).

If you have a Cairn over 12 years old who screens clear for OM, you will be offered a free DNA swab kit if you would like to contribute your dog’s DNA to OM research. For more information about ocular melanosis, please read the attached PDF documents and the research reports on the Cairn Terrier Club of America’s health-related concerns page.

By offering these clinics and combining some socializing and a potluck, we’re doing our best to make it affordable, easy, and fun to get this screening done, for everyone from the owner of a single pet, to active breeders. We are grateful to Dr. Scherlie for his time and contribution of reduced fees to support our efforts.

See you and your Cairns in July!
