Dr. Wendy Townsend, a primary researcher into PU, will be performing ultrasounds of Golden Retriever eyes. This non-invasive procedure is not painful and has the potential to provide critical information for continuing research into this disease. Dr. Townsend will examine any Golden Retriever – healthy eyes or otherwise – 4 years and older. Goldens without pedigrees or those from a rescue situation are more than welcome to become a part of this research project.
Golden Retrievers 12 years and older and those previously seen at PU clinics are encouraged to participate in this year’s clinic. The clinic is limited to 125 dogs. Appointments will be arranged once judging schedules are announced. Please download the following form and submit to 20******************@***il.com to complete the preregistration process.

Dr. Wendy Townsend, DVM, MS, DACVO, (ophthalmology) associate professor of ophthalmology in Purdue Veterinary Medicine’s Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, has focused her career and research in veterinary medicine on diagnosing and treating eye conditions in animals. “The most common question I get is if we fit animals with glasses,” Dr. Townsend says. “While that’s not what we do, our goal is to help animals see better and improve their quality of life if they’re having issues.”
Although her patients span a variety of species, her research is focused on a particular breed of dog that reigns as one of the most popular dog breeds in America: Golden Retrievers. Golden retriever pigmentary uveitis is a disease almost exclusively found in purebred Golden Retrievers. It’s an inherited form of uveitis (inflammation of the uveal tract, which includes the iris). And though the disease is inherited, the onset and diagnosis usually occurs when the dogs are older.
Dr. Townsend is strongly encouraging Golden Retrievers 12 years and older and those previously seen at PU clinics to participate in this year’s clinic. The clinic is limited to 125 dogs. Appointments will be arranged once judging schedules are announced. Downloadable forms need to be returned to 20******************@***il.com to complete the preregistration process.
