Hmmm wonder how much doggie cataract surgery is for Spike dog??? :)

[ezbtr]

He's only one year old, born with them, they say it is common in the Sharpei breed? And he's a mix of Sharpei, Lab(we think), pit/French bulldog and maybe Vishla (sp ??)

Cataract Surgery
Canine cataracts is a common condition that affects a large number of older dogs. However, it is not unheard of for a dog to be born with cataracts. This condition is either inherited or it can be caused by trauma, infection, or diabetes. Cataracts is caused by a loss of transparency in the eye. A cataract forms in the lens and it has a white appearance. In addition, your dog's eyes may have a foggy or hazy look to them. Fortunately, cataracts are easily treated through cataract surgery. During surgery the lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. The cost for dog cataracts surgery ranges from $1,500 up to $3,000. The cost typically includes several days stay at the veterinary hospital, but in some cases it may not.
