Retinal Dysplasia

Retinal Dysplasia: Most cases of retinal dysplasia in dogs are hereditary. It can involve one or both retinas. Retinal dysplasia can be focal, multifocal, geographic, or accompanied by retinal detachment. Focal and multifocal retinal dysplasia appears as streaks and dots in the central retina. Geographic retinal dysplasia appears as an irregular or horseshoe-shaped area of mixed hyper or hyporeflectivity in the central retina. Retinal detachment occurs with complete retinal dysplasia, and is accompanied by blindness in that eye. Cataracts or glaucoma can also occur secondary to retinal dysplasia. Other causes of retinal dysplasia in dogs include infection with canine adenovirus or canine herpesvirus, or radiation of the eye in newborns.

Breeds most affected:
American Cocker Spaniel - focal or multifocal.
Australian Shepherd - retinal dysplasia occurs with other eye disorders, such as an oval pupil, microcornea (small cornea), cataracts, and retinal detachment
Beagle - focal or multifocal.
Bedlington Terrier - complete retinal dysplasia.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - retinal folds, geographic, or retinal detachment.
English Springer Spaniel - focal, multifocal, or geographic.
Labrador Retriever - focal, multifocal, geographic, or complete retinal dysplasia. It can also be seen in combination with a congenital skeletal disorder.
Rottweiler - focal or multifocal.
Sealyham Terrier - complete retinal dysplasia.
