Included in the upper respiratory tract are the Nostrils, Nasal Cavities, Pharynx, Epiglottis, and the Larynx.he Respiratory System is crucial to every human being.

If your pet does not have cataract surgery, we recommend that a complete ocular examination with intraocular pressure evaluation be performed every 3-6 months to prolong comfort for your pet, and the ophthalmologists may recommend eye drops to try to prevent the secondary complications of cataracts.

Note the dark brown pigment on the lens from the 9:00 to 12:00 edge of the pupil; this is where the inflamed iris adhered to the lens, resulting in pigment adhesions. NOTE: If cataract surgery is not performed ASAP, this eye will need to be removed.
