Our late, greatly missed Golden Retriever, Prior Lake Jake, developed a cataract when he was about four years old. Our vet informed us there was a dog opthamologist (in Edina, naturally.)
The doctor informed us that he could do surgery for $890 and we went ahead.
Jake came home a little woozy with a lamp shade around his neck but recovered completely and lived a long happy life in Prior Lake, MN.

Oh, dear me... you don’t think Swampsniper will have to wear a LAMP SHADE, do you?!! /s
