When Emmi was 5 months old in September 2008, I took her to the Westville Animal hospital for a consultation with one of the most experienced Vets in Durban, who has a special interest in eyes. He said that Emmi has Congenital Cataracts in both eyes, as well as Persistent Capillary membranes which would make any attempts at surgery risky.
He suggested taking her to see Dr Anthony Goodhead, who is an Animal Eye Specialist from Johannesburg. I contacted Dr Goodhead and made an appointment for January 2009 when he was due to be down in Durban.
I phoned and emailed Shani Smit, who was devastated by the news and offered to give me another puppy to replace Emmi. She also said she was going to get Emmi's two siblings, Eva and Einstein, checked immediately.
