Send me a picture when you have seen the animal please!!

I have yet seen this animal but I was wondering if you had any experience regarding cataracts in degus which are not related to diabetes? Do they get this for any other reason? This animal is just 1 year old, and is showing no clinical signs of diabetes. I might be able to send you photographs once I have seen this degus. I should probably rule out diabetes first? Thank you for your reply. Kind regards Gro-M Amundsen BVM &s Hello,

At this moment i've aStrix aluco with lesions resembling the ones on the photos. I always assumed that it was some kind of scarring after corioretinitis. The lesions i've seen are depressed in the retina. I'm surely looking for the right answer. Thank's I have seen similar lesions in other species of owls.

I know it increases drainage by the nonconventional route. Out of interest, a bottle of Xalatan in India costs about £3! Does Xalatan work just as well in open as in closed angle glaucoma?
