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.
Pressure is measured in mm of Hg (mercury). Normal pressure is between 10 - 21 mm Hg with 14 being the average. Prior to 1978, glaucoma was defined as a disease in which the pressure was above 21 mm Hg in an eye.laucoma is usually a slow disease. Untreated glaucoma takes on an average of 15 years to progress from early damage to blindness with an IOP of 21 to 25 mmHg, 7 years with 25 to 30 mmHg, and 3 years with a pressure more than 30 mmHg. Thus, most eye doctors will treat a pressure over 30 with out signs of damage.
