Area Dog Benefits from Transplant
Research
It is amazing what they can do with
organ transplantation these days. My sister in laws dog
lost an eye when he was a pup, when he ran into a tree.
It has always been a little unsettling looking at that
one eyed dog. (Gigitty).
Well after receiving a call from the University of
Wisconsin Whitewater Veterinary School, my sister-in-law
took her dog in for what she thought was going to be a
prosthetic eye. Turns out she got more.
Dr. Bernhard Volderquist explains "We are able to take
the eye out of a human donor, and give it to a canine
subject. The dog will have virtually perfect vision out
of that eye after 6 weeks".
I just wished my sister-in-law would have warned me
before I came to visit.
