In this issue of Vet Candy Magazine, it is all about the eyes!  As veterinarians, we often faced with some really horrible eye cases, like that inevitable Shih Tzu with an eye prolapse or that bulldog with the nasty melting corneal ulcer. Years ago, the only option for severe cases was enucleation.  Now, with the increasing number of specialists, we have an option to refer these cases to specialists who can likely save the eyes.  Thank goodness!
According to AVMA 2018 data, there are 453 board certified veterinary ophthalmologists.  Our favorite one is Ohio veterinarian, Dr. DJ Haeussler, who graces our cover this month. 
Helping veterinarians save eyes is why Vet Candy partnered up with Dr. DJ and Sentrx Animal Care to create a master course in ophthalmology.  This free program is RACE and New York State approved for CE and focuses on reinforcing the essential fundamentals of eye care.  Whether you are a recent graduate or want to upgrade your skills, this free course if for you!  Check it out at myvetcandy.com/eye
