Thread: advice please?.... squint

just updating an old thread....... there is actually a research project going on in a veterinary centre in Newmarket into strabismus in Maine Coons. We took Quintus there for a lengthy check up and to contribute to their project. They were saying that this is becoming more common in the breed (not to the extent yet that it is in Siamese however). There is nothing to be done by way of surgery and it does not affect him unduly (though he does tend to fall off things!). It would be a shame to see it become more prevalent, and this is really down to the breeders. I did contact the breeder we got him from, Jawacara, and she was not remotely interested, which is a concern - I'd certainly not buy another cat from there.
