I have a yorkie with Keratoconjuncitivitis sicca (KCS) the reason for CERF testing. We found this after she had a injury to her eye a scratched cornea.
She will now be on eye drops for the rest of her life...
Signs to look for is excessive eye matter collecting or rubbing of their eyes with their paws. Not always KSC could be other under laying problems. Just something to watch for.
The Ophthalmologist showed me a book on breeding and if a dog has this it shouldn't be used for breeding as it is suppose to be heredity. My vet told me there is no actual findings of this as a 100% for sure thing. Try to get 10 vets to agree on anyone subject...lol.
I wouldn't mind testing my doggies that I breed to make sure they don't have it, but when you are talking about puppies the jury is still out due to the fact that they are still in the developmental stage of life and test wouldn't be accurate until a year old, so I couldn't guarantee KCS for potiental new pet owners. So I have been told from my experience.
