Eye problems can be uncomfortable and, in some cases, may threaten your pet’s vision if they aren’t addressed promptly. At Boulevard Animal Hospital, our veterinarians can evaluate many common eye concerns and determine whether your pet needs treatment or more specialized care.
Signs that your pet may have an eye problem include:
- Redness or swelling
- Squinting or keeping an eye closed
- Excessive tearing or discharge
- Cloudiness or changes in the appearance of the eye
- Pawing or rubbing at the eyes
- Signs of pain or sensitivity around the eye
Depending on your pet’s symptoms, our veterinary team can perform diagnostic testing such as fluorescein staining to check for corneal ulcers and abrasions and Tono-Pen testing to measure pressure inside the eye.
Some eye conditions require more advanced diagnostics, procedures, or specialized treatment. When that’s the case, we’ll refer your pet to a local veterinary ophthalmologist for the appropriate care.
If you’ve noticed a change in your pet’s eyes or vision, don’t wait to have it checked. To request an eye exam at Boulevard Animal Hospital, call us at (772) 781-1118.
