Someone I know had a littler of 5 Newf puppies at the end of December 09.
About 3 weeks ago they noticed one puppy had problems with its eyes, took it to the opthalmologist where it was diagnosed with glaucoma.
Second puppy about a week later showed same symptoms.
Today they returned with the 2 puppies to the opthalmologist who said it was not genetic but did not know why it had happened.
He recommended one eye to be removed from the first puppy and to wait a few weeks for the other puppy to see what happened.
Have any of you breeders come across glaucoma in puppies which did not present at birth? If so, what was the treatment?
