Pet Eye Care & Repair

The veterinarians at Eastgate Animal Clinic in Memphis are experienced in diagnosing and treating pet eye issues, but we are not specialists or board-certified eye specialists. After we have examined your pet, we may feel that your pet would benefit from the care of a board certified veterinary eye specialist and we may refer you to one of the specialists in our area.

We will discuss all of your pet’s treatment options and can provide corrective surgery including eye removal, if necessary. We have the skill and expertise to treat many eye-related disorders, such as:

• Cataract—A clouding of your pet’s eye
• Conjunctivitis—Your pet’s eyes will look red and swollen, and there may be discharge
• Corneal abrasions—A scratch on your pet’s cornea causing pain and tearing
• Dry eye—Corneal inflammation, squinting, and discharge caused by diminished tear production
• Cherry eye—A cherry-like mass on the dog’s eye caused by an enlarged tear gland
• Epiphora—Stains on the dog’s facial fur caused by an overflow of tears
• Glaucoma—An increase of pressure in the eyeball causes the cornea to become cloudy and the eye to enlarge
• Entropion—A rolling in of the eyelid causes discharge and tearing
