Spectacular Eyes

After almost 18 months from diagnosis of UDS (Uveodermatologic Syndrome); Lily's latest ophthalmological visit was passed with flying colors. No more visits for six-months.

Uveodermatologic syndrome
also known as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-Like Syndrome in Dogs
An immune-mediated disease where the body inappropriately attacks its own melanocytes (the pigment-producing cells). These cells seem most prevalent in the skin, retina, and uveal tract of the eye. It is speculated that the immune-reaction is initially triggered by a virus though research is on-going.
