Question
Hi!
I have an 8 year old Black Lab.  Recently I noticed she has a little brtown spot near her iris.  Is this a cateract???  Thanks in advance!

Answer
Sorry for the delay in answering your question. I've had some things going on here. Well, labradors are one of the breeds that cateract is more common in, so I would definitly get it checked out by your vet. However, I don't think cateract starts out as a brown spot. I would at least call and ask to speak with a vet and ask his/her opinion. Again, sorry for the delay. Have a great night.
