Purchased a siberian husky AKC certified puppy from breeder, who turned out to be backyard breeders, The puppy at started having hereditary eye disorder that is degenerative in nature and is affecting his eyes. This was diagnosed by a board certified veterinary ophthalmologist. The puppy had thorough work up after having eye issue. He has progressive (fast) growing eye cataracts with eye inflammation, that can cause permanent vision loss and glaucoma even with the treatments he is receiving. He will have to have surgery, maybe multiply times in his lifetime. If we go the route of the surgery there is a high chance that there will be glacoma and could go blind for siberian huskies
The ophthalmologist asked us to contact the breeder to inform them of this issue immediately, to ensure they were aware of this issue and to prevent further breeding of this disease. They never returned any emails or calls from us regarding this issues, and bred the puppies again, uping the price from $900 to $1000 this year.
Both parents are required to have an exam -- xray of their hips by a veterinarian and eye exam by an ophthalmologist in the year that they are being bred. This was understood when receiving the certification for Winter, paperwork you provided for AKC certification. Hereditary eye disorders to not generally until several months down the line, in this case it took until 9 months to appear in full, but issues started within less than 6 monrins
Our request was to contact all owners of the potential eye disorder affecting multiply puppies, they should be contacted immediately. The owners may not know what it is, and could lead to blindness if not treated, treating it now will prevent this from happening. It was encouraged that each owner be contacted and make them aware one puppy has this disorder that is hereditary and go get checked out by an ophthalmologist. Our regular vet did not know what was happening. We had to go to a board certified ophthalmologist vet to get this diagnosis.
There was also an alarming issue when we receiving the certification from AKC, one of the grandparents is the same for both parents, showing in breeding.
