CRCTC is pleased to offer an OM screening and CAER* exam on March 10 with the generous cooperation of Dr. Paul Scherlie.
Testing that will be performed:
- CAER — should be done by one year of age and repeated annually.
- OM (Ocular Melanosis) — should be done for Cairns after three years of age and repeated annually.
CAER exams are advised for all dogs and OM screening is of particular importance for Cairn Terriers.
* The American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO) designated the OFA’s Eye Certification Registry as their endorsed registry as of November 1, 2012. More information.
