SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 2008
9:00 am to 3:00 pm
The BACKCSC is holding its annual heart and eye clinic on Sunday, January 6, 2008 at Bishop Ranch Veterinary Center & Urgent Care, 2000 Bishop Drive, San Ramon, CA, 94583. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity as annual heart and eye testing is very important in our breed and part of our recommended breeding protocol.
Dr. Lori Siemens, a board certified cardiologist, will be conducting heart exams by auscultation. The charge for each heart examination will be $30.00; however, the BACKCSC will be subsidizing $5.00 of the cost for members; the reduced charge for each exam will be $25.00.
Dr. Dennis Hacker, a board certified ophthalmologist, will be performing the CERF (eye) exams. The reduced charge for each eye examination will be $25.00 for members; the BACKCSC is subsidizing a portion of this cost as well.
If you want your results reported to OFA (Orthopedic Foundation of America) and/or CERF, please bring a copy of your AKC registration for your dog(s).
Heart examinations will begin at 9:00 am and end at 3:00 pm. Eye exams will begin at 10:00 am. Appointments will last approximately 5 minutes per dog for each exam. Please plan on arriving 20 minutes prior to your appointment to allow time to complete the forms and for dilation of the eyes. Please email me, Molly Hughes, at molly4dunree@comcast.net to schedule an appointment time. We will try to accommodate drop-ins as time allows, but member appointments will take preference. Please make all checks payable to BACKCSC. This is a clinic only; there is no meeting scheduled. (Next meeting is 1/13/08.)
