Blind Penguins Focus on Life Again
Swimming into walls and having trouble catching fish were
just two of the main indicators that two Detroit Zoo rockhoppers
and a macaroni penguin’s cataracts were affecting
their physical and social well-being. Caused by old age
– two were more than 20 years old and the other over
30 - the penguins were transported to Michigan Veterinary
Specialists where Drs. Dan Lorimer and Ray Morreale performed
successful cataract surgery.Detroit

 Keeping
Your Pet’s Ears Clean & Healthy
Hearing is one of the most important senses your pet depends
on in his or her daily life. Ear infections are a relatively
common problem in dogs and cats. The condition is medically
referred to as otitis externa and it is estimated that up
to 20% of the dog population is affected. Regular cleansing
of your pet's ears can prevent many potential ear problems
before they start and can enhance his or her quality of
life. For tips
on routine ear care and how to spot infection, click here.
