HELLO ALL,
I hope this edition of the newsletter finds all healthy and looking forward to
the New Year. I know everyone has been busy the last few months of the
year. From attending the National Specialty (several of our club members
participated in several of the events) to the hectic times that accompany the
holidays everyone has been very busy. I have heard of litters being born
(YAY) to new titles being earned (YAY). Please let Lisa Little, our guru of all
things needed to be printed, know so she can print them.
Now we move on to the New Year. With that being said, the club has a lot
of activities coming up. Some like the regional specialty in March at York PA
(A BIG Thank you to Lee Kephart for spearheading and chairing that) and
the herding trial in June at Scarlett Mill• (A BIG thanks goes out Cynthia
Knowlton for stepping up and chairing that) are being finalized as we go to
press. But there are even more that are being planned as we go to press.
Club members have been very busy planning the events mentioned above.
If you have a suggestion for an activity or if you want to help let us know
and we will put you in touch with the right person.

Queen Eve
A Cattle Dog’s Journey with PLL and Glaucoma
by Debra Mills
First let me say I am not a medical or veterinary
professional or in any way professionally versed in the
medical field. The following story is just my experience as
a pet owner with an Australian Cattle Dog with glaucoma.
I could begin this story in many places but let me start with
the star of the article – Eve. Eve is my first and only pet – a
purebred female Australian Cattle Dog. Eve…or Queen
Eve… as she prefers…..will be 15 years young this
summer. Her AKC name is Bryn Mawr’s Turbulence and
she came into our household at the age of 7. I have found
that Turbulence is a good name for her in so many ways! I
should probably mention that the other member of the
household ranking just below the Queen is my husband.
Eve has enjoyed good health and has always been in good
shape. In her heyday she would walk 3 miles a day. At 15
years it’s about a mile a day broken up into smaller
walks…..with a nap in between these strolls around the
block. In fact it was at the end of one our walks---about 3
years ago---when life in our household began to change in
ways I never could have imagined. We stopped at the
neighbors for treats and a visit and my neighbor said “Why
are her eyes so big?” I looked at Eve and I didn’t notice
anything but now that the seed was planted in my mind I
kept looking at her eyes and asking my husband to look at
them. I went back to the neighbors to have her look again.
Since Eve was a bit cranky lately I decided to call the vet
and we were seen that day. I actually didn’t mention her
eyes when I called for the appointment. I just mentioned
her not being quite herself.
Eve had her heart and lungs and bloodwork checked at
the vets and passed with flying colors that same day. As the
vet was looking her over he immediately said that
something seems to be going on with her eyes. He thought
they seemed to be bulging and that she needed to be seen by
a vet that specializes in ophthalmology. I felt like a terrible
pet owner because I didn’t really notice anything with her
eyes but the vet tried to make me feel better by telling me I
see her all the time every day and it was most likely a
gradual change. I was ready to head to the eye vet
immediately. That was easier said than done. It was a
Friday afternoon and it soon became apparent to me that
there are not a lot of eye vets. My family veterinarian’s
office spent well over an hour looking for a place to take
her. Most options were a 2 to 3 hour drive and we would
need to drop her off and leave her over the weekend
because the eye vet wasn’t in until Monday. I didn’t mind
the drive but I wasn’t thrilled with the “drop her off” option
because I know my Queen would have been upset for 3
days. Finally they did find a place just under 2 hours away
where the eye vet would work with the emergency vet over
the phone. We loaded up the van and were immediately on
our way. During all this waiting I also called Eve’s breeder
to see if they had an “in” with any eye vets. This call
confirmed that eye vets are a rare breed themselves. Eve
has quite a fan club. By this time I have my neighbor
texting me to see how she is doing and also the breeder is
now worried about her too. We arrive at the emergency
vet and she is seen right away. It didn’t take long and
they came back with the diagnosis---glaucoma. Panic did
not set in because I do know some adults with glaucoma
and they seemed to have had it for years and years and do
quite well on some drops. We were given drops for Eve
and sent on our way with a list of directions and an
appointment to see the eye vet the following week.
Finally calm settled over the van and we were on our way
home. It was a long day!
The following week we had our first visit with the
official “eye vet”. My husband and I liked him a lot and
he took great care of Eve. We got a lot more information
at this visit. He did a very thorough exam and found that
Eve had luxating lenses. This is what sets off the
glaucoma. PLL with secondary glaucoma was the
diagnosis. There was a lot of information at that visit but
my take away was that we needed to keep her pupils
small and the drops would do that. The drops would also
keep her eye pressure down. For some perspective the
vet likes to see pressure in the teens or lower. Since Eve
was already 12 at this time the eyedrop option seemed a
great way to go. I was happy for her not to have needed
surgery. We left this visit with our arsenal of drops and
another appointment. The following week we find out
that the drop is working well on her eyes (the pressure in
in the teens) but since it’s a beta blocker drop it is
affecting her heart. We had to move to a different set of
drops. At the next appointment we seem to have hit
paydirt. Eye pressure is very good (still in teens) and no
side effects from these drops. We would need to get
bloodwork every 3 to 6 months as the one drop has the
potential to lower the white blood count. Things are
looking good! Now was the time to ask more questions
since we seemed to be past the critical stage in my mind.
I was told that most dogs will be blind within 3 years
with glaucoma. This surprised me because I knew people
who did well for many more years than that. This is
when I was told that glaucoma is much harder to control
in dogs than in people.
I still left the vet very optimistic. Eve was happy and
all signs were good. We continued on this “good
pressure” and “good path” for a year. My confidence
increased and even though I knew that most dogs go
blind in 3 years I thought Eve would be the exception.
She was doing so well!
We went in for a routine eye vet appointment in the
early stages of the second year. Her pressure was higher.
We increased the drops. Her next appointment was good.
Another sigh of relief. Her next appointment the pressure
was again very high. We increased the drops. Her next
appointment was good. Another sigh of relief. We
continued on this path throughout the second year.
During this second year we did notice a decrease in
vision. We did talk about other options. Surgery was an
option but surgery carries risks of anesthesia and possible
blindness. The surgery does not always work. Surgery
does not restore any vision. Once vision is gone it’s
gone. Eve would get regular bloodwork and her white
blood count was fine but her urine tests showed a
decrease in kidney function. This was not surprising at
13 years old but was another reason to avoid prolonged
surgery if possible.
During this second year we were militant about her
schedule of drops. She was getting 2 drops 4 times a day
and the spacing in between drops was critical. If we
waited too long the eye pressure could shoot up. Even
though we stuck to the schedule with precision we still
noticed more vision loss. Eve had what we called her
“bad eye” and her “good eye”. There was no vision left
in the “bad eye” but the “good eye” still enabled her to
get around just fine. Eve turned 14. I noticed she was
definitely slowing down. She still went for walks, she
ate, and everything else worked fine. I attributed this
slowdown to her getting older. Her eye vet appointments
at that time showed the pressure was increasing but she
was not behaving as if she had pain.
By now we are well into the second year of the
glaucoma ordeal and I noticed Eve was less involved with
me. Eating—check. Pooping—check. Walking—check.
But she mostly stayed in her “room” and was not as
interactive. You can guess what’s coming. Back to the
eye vet. We spent 3 out of 4 weeks in one month at the
vet office. Pressure was high. On top of her glaucoma
she now also had a corneal ulcer. During these few
weeks Eve lost her vision—all of it. We are maxed out
on drops and she had an all time high eye pressure of 80.
80 means pain---most likely lots of pain that she was
hiding L Its time to make a decision. I knew the day
would come when I needed to make the decision about
“putting my dog down”. I thought it might be because
she had cancer, kidney issues, heart problems, or some
other disease that has a well known reputation for being
awful. I never thought I might have to make that decision
because of a disease of the eye.
I went in prepared to do the “right thing” and not let
her suffer but wanted to again check my options. Both of
Eve’s vets (family vet and eye vet) have always said she
is in remarkable shape for her age (then 14 and a half).
Now that she was blind, the eye vet thought she would be
a good candidate for a surgery called Intravitreal
Injection with gentamician. For the Intravitreal surgery
they give anesthesia but she would not be completely
out. For lack of a more glamorous way to explain it
they would suck the fluid out from behind the eye and
replace it with another fluid. Since she was blind there
was no need to worry about hitting the optic nerve
which would cause a “sighted” dog to lose vision. This
saves time and the surgery would not take too long.
The drug could be hard on her kidneys but it was a
short time and they would give a different drug to
reverse the effects. Another option was enucleation
where they would actually remove both eyes but that is
a longer and more invasive surgery. At her age we
decided against that option and the vet agreed. If the
Intravitreal surgery was successful she would not need
any more eye drops. That seemed like a farfetched
miracle after 2 years of multiple drops every 4 to 6
hours. We decided to give the Intravitreal surgery a try
and the eye vet set her up as an emergency as soon as
we had Eve visit her family vet and have bloodwork
and get the “all clear”. That was only a matter of 2
days as every doctor was wonderful and knew she
needed the fast track to get the surgery as soon as
possible.
It is difficult to convey everything that went on in
just 2 years with the glaucoma leading up to the
surgery. We went from drops twice a day with a dog
with vision to drops every 4 to 6 hours with a dog with
no vision. Our lives were run around the drop
schedule. By the end of the second year it was a
guessing game if the pressure was controlled on a daily
basis. There were no other drugs or drops to try. It was
a frustrating experience to have a dog in overall great
shape suffer from an eye disease with no cure and not a
lot of good options. From a purely practical standpoint
I can also say that glaucoma is not cheap. The drops
are expensive. There are the frequent visits to the
specialist and the bloodwork required to monitor white
blood cells needs to be done a few times a year. It all
adds up. Surgery….any surgery is another cost. The
Intravitreal surgery was a much cheaper option than the
enucleation but we did not base the decision on money.
We were lucky to have been able to afford the drops,
surgery etc but I understand it can be a struggle and the
choices not easy. Believe it or not we are right now at
the breakeven point. If she were still on drops, what we
would have paid for drops/visits since the surgery adds
up to the cost of the surgery. I mention this not to
sound callous but just to provide perspective.
We are now about 4 months after the Intravitreal
surgery. Two days after the surgery it was like I had a
new dog. Eve was immediately more interactive with
us. She is rarely in her “room” now. She is almost 15
years old so she sleeps a lot but she is always nearby.
She still walks every day and loves her treat ball. Now
when she chases her treatball I am reminded of my
young 11 year old before this all began. It really is like
she has a new lease on life. Yes she is completely
blind. That probably bothers me more than it bothers
her. She can find her way all around the house with no
help and she feels secure outside on walks and in the
yard on the leash with us right there with her. When I
realized she was losing her sight I started teaching her
some commands that would help her later like “step”
for going down a step and “up” for going up a step.
She does not have the beautiful dark brown eyes of her
pre glaucoma days but that is just window dressing.
She has the glassy, opaque, and slightly bulgy eyes of a
determined cattle dog. One drawback……if it can be
called that….she is more active which means she
sometimes starts moving at “cattle dog speed” barreling
full speed ahead and smack dab into something. Since
she still has her eyes but cannot see we need to be very
careful that she does not walk into branches or any
sharp objects. Without vision she doesn’t have the
reflex to close her eyes as something approaches and
she can get a corneal abrasion which is painful. This
has happened twice so far since she has been
blind….and off to the eye vet we go for antibiotic
drops. We are all learning as we move through this
disease. We have now basically “bubble wrapped” the
house as I call it. Any boxes, books, papers, briefcase,
things with sharp edges are all removed. Anything that
might stick out at her eye level has been relegated to the
basement. Every drawer must be completely closed so
no sharp corners. A small price to pay for Eve to enjoy
her golden years! We have purchased our first pair of
“doggles”. These are goggles for dogs. They are a
great way to protect the eyes from branches, plants etc.
The doggles are still a work in progress. Eve has the
opinion that she is not thrilled with the fashionable
eyewear.
I have asked myself if she should have had the
surgery sooner. However it was not as good of an
option while she still had vision. When she had vision
the drops were still working, albeit a lot of drops. For a
dog her age I was choosing drops over surgery. The
entire sequence of complete vision loss to surgery
happened very quickly. Thinking about the past years I
am still amazed that PLL with secondary glaucoma
could wreak such havoc. I am sure Queen Eve is not the
only ACD to face this disease so I hope her story can
offer some hope to any other ACD’s out there with
similar diagnosis. Her surgery was officially declared a
success. Her post op visit yielded eye pressures of 8 and
12. Those are like winning lottery numbers! There are no
more drops. Knock on wood, but the “bubbleproofing”
the house has also worked. We have not had the corneal
ulcer issue recently.
So 4 months out I am confident we made the right
decision in the surgery we chose. It was a great option
for a dog of her age. It may not be the right option for
every dog. There are a lot of factors to consider and I
would recommend everyone discuss options with an
ophthalmology veterinarian. This story was not written to
“sell” a certain type of surgery. It is just our experience
with the surgery. It is our personal experiences with our
ACD as we try to remember “after the fact” everything
that led up to the surgery. It was the right option for us. I
have second guessed myself many times along this
journey and have many times felt like the worst pet
owner in the world. In the beginning I beat myself up for
not even noticing the bulging eyes. Then as her
conditioned worsened I wondered if it was because
maybe I was late giving a drop. I kicked myself when
she walked into a newspaper and had a corneal ulcer. I
had moved many things out of the way so how did I miss
a newspaper. I felt stupid that what I attributed to the
slow down of old age was really related to this disease.
It was a gradual decline in activity that I took for aging
when in reality it was from the pain or headache from
increased eye pressure of glaucoma as the drops become
less effective.
Today we are near her 15th birthday. So far we have
been on a walk, played with treatball, went for a car ride,
ran errands, and barked at the FedEx truck. She has
rolled on the front lawn for a bellyrub and sniffed
something that needed to be followed---I am still not sure
what we were following. These behaviors are almost
daily since the surgery. I couldn’t be happier and neither
could Eve. I have had great support from Eve’s breeder
and from others I have met in the ACD community. I
feel fortunate to have great veterinary care from her
regular vet and her eye vet. I may not have always done
everything perfectly but I have always wanted what was
best for Eve. Let the journey continue…and Long Live
the Queen!!
***This story was written in the spring/summer of
2015…….On Dec 7th, 2015 we sent Eve to the rainbow
bridge due to issues developed with old age---diabetes &
high blood pressure. In hindsight I am still thrilled that
we did this surgery. We had almost an additional year
with Eve after the surgery***
This article is dedicated to Monica Shifflet & David
Steward who sent Eve to us. Special thanks also to
Rosemary Hoffman who helped edit this article and who
has always provided support and advice on our journey

Bosworth's Touch of Poetry, BN, RN, P-CD, CGC aka: Aloha has ranked Nationally in WCRL Rally as #16 in
RLX2. She also earned her ARCH on the 9th of January also in WCRL. For those who do not know how WCRL
works; in order to obtain an ARCH you need to complete RL1 and RL2 titles and then qualify again in both
RL1 and RL2 in the same trial with scores of 190 and above; five times. In addition you have to accumulate a
total of 100 points of
which at least 30 points need to be achieved in RL2.
Squeak achieved his ARCHX late last year which we had to double Q in RL1 and RL2 with scores of 195 and
above also five times. He is now halfway towards his ARCHEX which is
double Q in RL2 and RL3 ten times.
We would like to announce our new addition; Heidi, a failed foster dog from North Carolina. She was rescued
by a great woman, Vicky, who was concerned about Heidi's well-being. The people who had Heidi were
known drug dealers and the concern was that she would be sold as a "bait dog". Vicky had to untangle Heidi
many times from her tether and provide her with water. Vicky knew she was a sweetheart but was unable to
keep her because she rescues cats and Heidi is not trustworthy around them (yet). ACDRI Director, Lib
Nichols, was contacted by Vicky and Gene and I offered to foster her until a permanent home
was found. Heidi arrived on a very cold evening right the Monday before Thanksgiving and Gene fell in love
with this little blue girl almost immediately. She is super smart and adores Oz, our three year old chocolate
Labrador. She's a very confident girl and has been super easy to work with. We are keeping her separated
from our two cats as well as our other girl, Aloha. It has been a challenge because of keeping her separated
from the other dogs and cats but hoping as time goes on she will be able to fit in better.
Look to see this little girl in the rally ring in the future. She will be formerly known as "whatever
kennel name I finally decide on" You're Out! In reference to Heidi Klum's tag line from Project
Runway...
