www.barkandwhiskers.com/2024-01-26-tilapia-skin-for-canine-eye-injuriesStory at-a-glance The skin of the tilapia fish is rich in collagen and is increasingly used in both human and veterinary medicine to treat a variety of injuries and disorders A veterinary ophthalmologist in Brazil is using tilapia skin to successfully treat eye injuries in dogs, especially flat-faced breeds An integrative veterinarian in California is using tilapia skin to treat animal victims of wildfires A veterinary team in Michigan treated a badly burned dog with Icelandic, descaled cod fish skins, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids and have anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties that are important for healing and tissue regeneration My notes: Well this is new! I can see taking fish capsules but never thought of using it topically. I wonder how far this will go to other pets & even to humans.

www.barkandwhiskers.com/2024-03-15-lenticular-nuclear-sclerosis-in-dogsStory at-a-glance Lenticular sclerosis, also known as nuclear sclerosis, results in a bluish, cloudy appearance in older dogs, particularly those aged 6 and over Lenticular sclerosis is a normal condition in aging pets' eyes; it affects the lenses but doesn't cause any pain or blindness The condition comes on gradually, which allows pets to adjust well to any minor vision changes that may occur It's important to distinguish lenticular sclerosis from cataracts, which can take on a similar blue-cloud appearance While lenticular sclerosis shouldn't interfere with your pet's well-being, cataracts may need treatment to prevent permanent vision loss My notes: I'm glad it doesn't cause pain nor blindness. Has any of your dogs had this? What did you do for it? None of ours has had it.
