The next 2 weeks we are going to do a series of posts about all the different pupil shapes that animals can have. We are starting with round pupils. Animals like canines and big cats have round pupils. They actively chase down their prey, usually in daylight. Their round pupils makes their field of vision more condensed, but as predators, their vision isn't needed to help them flee from attack.

Many of you guessed correctly last week for how many puppies are in this radiograph (x-ray) of a pregnant dog and there are 6! The trick is to count skulls and/or spines. We've circled them for you below.

We are excited to announce that Dr. Kimmitt will now be performing OFA eye exams! These comprehensive exams help to determine the eye health of breeding dogs to ensure healthy and ethical breeding. In the spirit of breeding animals, we are going to play a new game. Guess how many puppies you see in this pregnant dogs radiograph. The answer will be revealed next week!

Your pets eyes are very similar to your eyes. There are many different parts of the eye. The ones you can see include the sclera (the white part of the eye), the cornea (the clear surface of the eye), the iris (the colored part of the eye), the pupil (the hole in the iris), and the lens (the clear disk that sits directly behind the pupil that helps to focus light). The more you know about your pets eyes can help you notice issues before it becomes a bigger problem.

With the weather warming up, our car windows are going down and there's nothing dogs love more than sticking their head out the window and feeling the wind through their fur, but there are things we can do to make sure their ride is a safe one. Pets should always be safely buckled into their seat, just like we are and should never ride in the bed of a pick up truck or on your lap. It is also important to protect their eyes from flying debris, sand, and insects with Doggles or RexSpecs.
We hope you all (furry friends included) enjoy this wonderful weather! ❤🐾☀️
