Clear vision is an important part of life and that includes for your pet and keeping a pet's eye health in good condition begins with a pet exam. At Old Town Veterinary Hospital in Murrieta, CA, pet eye care is one of the services we may recommend adding as an ongoing part of your pet's medical care.
Pet Eye Care
Whether your pet always stays indoors, resides outdoors most of the time, or has access to both, he needs to have a clear view of his surroundings. Like humans, animals are susceptible to experiencing ocular conditions, such as cataracts, corneal ulcers, glaucoma, and dry eyes.
There are several symptoms to watch for that serve as an alert that your pet is experiencing vision problems. Things to watch for include:
- His eyes appear cloudy.
- Your pet bumps into objects.
- Your pet is anxious or hesitant when placed in new surroundings.
- His eyes appear discolored and swollen.
- He continuously paws at his face.
- He hesitates or unwilling to climb steps or stairs.
Pet Exam
With a pet exam, a veterinarian on our team can assess your pet's eye health. The exam allows us to make an evaluation to determine if all is well with your pet's vision or if there is an issue requiring additional testing.
Once your pet's eyes have been examined, we will develop a personalized treatment plan if we discover any problems we believe are worth treating. In the meantime, be sure to help keep your pet’s eyes safe by making sure that his eyes don’t get dirty or injured due to his environment.
