The Pocket Beagles are not recognized as a separate breed from the regular size Beagles. They need a fenced and secure yard as they have the tendency to wander off following an interesting scent. The breed is very friendly and gets along with everybody including children, other dogs and cats.
A: Normal pressure in the eye is between 12 and 21mm Hg. Some patients are fortunate in that their optic nerves can tolerate pressures outside this range. If there are no other signs of glaucoma (visual field defect or optic nerve changes), then high pressures can be followed and simply observed.
Regular glaucoma check-ups include two routine eye tests: tonometry and ophthalmoscopy. Tonometry. Tonometry measures the pressure within your eye. During tonometry, eye drops are used to numb the eye. Then a doctor or technician uses a device called a tonometer to measure the inner pressure of the eye. A small amount of pressure is applied to the eye by a tiny device or by a warm puff of air. The range for normal pressure is 12-22 mm Hg (âmm Hgâ refers to millimeters of mercury, a scale used to record eye pressure).
