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.
