We take our puppies for Certified Ophthalmology eye-checks with Dr. Hamor and Sherry,
at the University of Illinois, College of Veterinary Medicine.
Dr Hamor and Sheri
Eye-checks
The good Dr Hamor and his side-kick Sherry. She sets up the appointments and sees that everything is in order!
While we check-in, other staff want to hold one, too!
Here are students putting in the eye drops.
Sherry is checking to see how much the eyes have dilated. The orange collar keeps each puppy properly identified.
Dr Hamor's first step, with a magifing glass. Sherry writes down what he's finding.
There is a lot of information to fill out. Each puppy has a folder.
Now he's in for a closer look. This allows him to see the back of the eye.
Apprehension!
Puppies can be very squirmy when the light shines in! Dr Hamor is gentle, firm and must persist.
He looks until he is sure he has checked thoroughly.
An assistant holds onto the puppy, too.
We receive our copies and pay the fees.

They are so glad to be heading back home!
