When Should I Take My Dog to the Vet For an Eye Injury?

The adage, "eyes are the windows to the soul," doesn't just apply to humans; it extends to our furry companions too.

However, unlike us, our pets cannot express their vision problems.

This is where ophthalmic consultation steps in as a guardian angel, safeguarding the delicate windows through which our pets perceive the world.

If you are wondering what veterinary ophthalmology is and how it can help your dog, keep reading to find out everything.

Veterinary Ophthalmology: What Does It Mean?

Veterinary ophthalmology refers to the specialization of examining and treating diseases that impair a pet's eye and overall vision. Vets specializing in pet ophthalmology have the knowledge, experience, and ability to examine your pet's eye and all the structures around it, including the bones, conjunctiva, lids, and more. 

They make the best use of traditional and alternative medicine along with surgical treatment options to effectively heal the pets' eyes.

Ophthalmic consultation at Pet Pavilion is more than just a routine check.

It's a thorough exploration into the realms of your pet's eye health, ensuring they continue to view the world with clarity and joy. Detecting and addressing eye issues at an early stage not only paves the way for effective treatment but also significantly enhances the quality of life of your furry family member.

At Pet Pavilion, our veterinary visionaries are equipped with the expertise and the heart to provide meticulous ophthalmic consultations. We delve into the microscopic universe of your pet's eyes, identifying any discord that could cloud their vision or discomfort them. Our mission transcends beyond mere treatment; we aim to be the beacon of care and assurance for both you and your pet.

Why Should You See a Veterinary Ophthalmologist?

There is a wide range of risks that can be combated with veterinary ophthalmology, including the chances of dry eyes and ulcers in the year. In fact, most veterinary ophthalmologists are equipped to conduct pupillary light reflect tests, Schirmer tear tests, and more to ensure that a pet's retina and overall cornea are in the best possible condition.

When to Take Your Dog to Treat Its Eye Injury?

If your dog has experienced an eye injury, it is best to see a veterinary ophthalmologist immediately. A delay will cause the injury to worsen over time and will increase the risk of your dog losing its vision in the future. A doctor specializing in veterinary ophthalmology can easily conduct tests and perform timely surgeries that will ensure that the injury doesn't cause further damage to the dog's eye.
