You might be familiar with cataracts as an eye problem that affects many older adults.  One thing that many people don’t know, however, is that cataracts aren’t exclusive to humans. Did you know dogs and cats are susceptible to cataracts too?  Read this article which provides general information about dogs and cataracts, and also explains how cataracts affect your dog and what you can do to treat them.

This article talks about cats and cataracts.  Go to http://www.petplace.com/cats/cataracts-in-cats/page1.aspx.

One important thing to consider is that heredity is not the only factor for cataracts, so even if your pet’s history is cataract-free they could still be at risk. Any sort of eye trauma can lead to cataracts, so it is always important to see a vet if your dog or cat has an injury to his or her eyes.
