misc | ask the petxpert BY Bill Piechocki and Dr. Diane Sudduth, DVM Are Eye and Vision Issues in Pets Becoming an Epidemic? Eye and vision issues in our pets is becoming an epidemic with most older pets being affected. The disturbing issue of this is that these conditions are being accepted as normal and expected without most caregivers understanding the causes. Once there is an understanding of the basic causes, most vision challenges are normally preventable. All disease comes down to only two core causes, deficiency and toxicity. These eye and vision challenges are no exception. The real challenge is that eyes and vision issues are slow to develop and slow to correct. Unlike skin cells that are replaced on a monthly basis, nerve and eye tissue are replaced at a much slower rate. Most eye challenges are explained as degenerative because of this slow growing condition. The same is true when providing a treatment plan, as the results often take months to stem the degeneration and create healing. Basic eye changes often start with tearing, wet eye and tear staining which lead to infections. While some breeds of dogs and cats seem to be more predisposed to this type of condition, the cause can be a nutritional imbalance and repeated exposure to toxins. While many eye infections are the result of bacterial, viral or fungal growth, we have to ask what is wrong with our pet’s immune system that allows these pathogens to proliferate. Our approach to attaining optimal health is achieved by building a strong natural immune system with species specific nutrition and by reducing the addition of toxins through drugs, vaccines, cleaning products, lawn chemicals and other toxins. Toxins plug and destroy the cellular functions in filters such as the liver, kidney and lymphatic systems. Research has shown that aluminum and mercury have a direct link to kidney and liver failure which has a direct impact on the eyes. Why are our dogs having more of these eye problems than our cats? This is self-evident as we look at the plethora of toxins that our dogs are exposed to. Most feline pets are house dwellers and are limited in their exposure to the vast array of environmental chemicals that our dogs are exposed to. These include the pollutants in our air and lawn chemicals such as weed killer, bug killers, fertilizers and more. If those factors are not enough of an assault on our dogs, we are also told that because our dogs are frequently outdoors, we need to provide additional protection for them. The additional protection recommended by many in the veterinarian community is to increase vaccine schedules, monthly chemical and drug treatments for fleas, ticks, heartworms and other parasites. These toxins are continuously destroying healthy cells and teamed up with an inappropriate nutritional plan, this regimen inhibits proper growth of new healthy cells. The good news is this…what degenerates can also regenerate. The body is designed to heal itself. Our job as pet parents is to provide the proper tools for that to happen. This happens by us supporting a clean species specific appropriate nutritional program that excludes fillers, preservatives, colors and chemicals - along with creating a safer environment by choosing a more natural approach for flea and heartworm prevention, lawn treatments, household cleaners, vaccinations, etc. Bill Piechocki, nutritionist and Dr. Diane Sudduth, DVM are partners in Fiesta Pet Deli in Pompano Beach, FL, and co-hosts of the PetHealthCafe.com radio show.
