Health Matters

Dr Scherlie will conduct an eye clinic performing OFA (formerly CERF) eye exams and ocular melanosis screening.

• The clinic will run for 10 AM - 12 PM (or until we run out of dogs to examine).
• AKC Registered Cairn Terriers 10 years of age or older are free. All other dogs are $20.
• Open to all breeds, members and non-members!
• For owners with multiple dogs we will alternate dogs between owners to make things flow more smoothly.
• No reservations required or accepted - first come, first served. 

Event held at Quarles' property, 24491 South Larkin Road, Beavercreek, Oregon, 97004.

Local kidney ultrasound screenings are now available year round.

Breeders are able to get reduced rates as low as $99 per dog if they arrange for over 10 dogs at a time with VDIC and Dr John Feleciano DVM, DACVR.  

Other rates:

• 5-10 dogs, $109
• 1-4 dogs, $191

Ask for Patty when you call VDIC 877-751-8342 and let her know you are with the Columbia River Cairn Terrier Club.

Most screenings will be done at their Tualatin office.

Feel free to contact Ilene Kaplan kaplani@union.edu for help or if you have questions.

Members — you may want to post an entry on this blog if you have litters that you would like to combine with others to get over the 10 dogs/puppies needed for the best rate!

Most blog posts will be in article format but this entry is just for fun. This is an unscientific poll put up as a demonstration topic.

We occasionally offer or sponsor health presentations, clinics, and articles on topics of interest to Cairn owners and breeders. Sometimes they are Cairn-specific and other times they are of general canine relevance.

If you would like to suggest a topic area please leave a note in the comments.  Topic suggestions only (off-topic comments will be deleted).
