Preventive Care

Vaccination
Feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1) is a major cause of conjunctivitis and corneal ulceration in both kittens and adult cats. Infection with FHV-1 is common, and the virus is widespread among cat populations. Primary (or first exposure) to FHV-1 can result in fever, sneezing, coughing, upper respiratory conditions, nasal discharge and conjunctivitis. The virus is spread from cat to cat either by direct contact or by aerosolization of the virus. Vaccination against FHV-1 provides temporary immunity. Once cats become infected, they become carriers.

Veterinary Ophthalmology
Veterinary Ophthalmology is a specialization of veterinary medicine that addresses eye health, eye disease, and vision in animals. A veterinary ophthalmologist is involved in all phases of animal eye care, working with general practice veterinarians and other veterinary specialists to help diagnose and treat animal eye problems such as cataracts, glaucoma, vision loss, eye infections, eye cancers, corneal ulcers, dry eye problems, eyelid abnormalities, diseases of the retina, and genetic eye problems. Treatment options and recommendations are made to help return your pet’s health and improve their quality of life.
Nutritional Counseling
You may offer your pet small amounts of water later on that night, and if she seems alert, you may try small amounts of food, totalling about half the amount you would normally provide. Your pet can have normal amounts of food and water the next day. If your pet is diabetic and doesn’t want to eat, do not give insulin. Some pets may have a decreased appetite the night after surgery, but they should feel more normal by the next day. Since your pet has been fasted and under anesthesia, don’t be alarmed if they do not have a bowel movement the night of or the morning following surgery.
Comprehensive Examination
Monitoring intraocular pressure in animals should be an important part of annual examinations, especially in predisposed purebred breeds or animals with a family history of glaucoma. With early medical and occasionally surgical therapy, your pet’s vision and comfort can be maintained.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Make sure your pet receives preventative health care (vaccinations, parasite control, etc.), as well as care for any illnesses or injury.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Though many people mistakenly believe cataracts are a cloudy film on the surface of the eye, cataracts are actually opacities within the lens, located inside the eye. Most cataracts are genetic, and the condition is prevalent in breeds such as Cocker Spaniels, Poodles, Siberian Huskies, Schnauzers, Golden and Labrador Retrievers, and Terriers. Cataracts can also be caused by Diabetes mellitus, trauma, and inflammation, and can occur at any stage of life. However, some genetic cataracts can develop predictably at a young age. Many cataracts will worsen to the point of blindness, but certain types, especially in the Retriever breeds, can remain small for the entire life of the pet.
Cancer Treatment
Treatment depends on tumor location, size, extent of invasion, vision status, the horse’s purpose, and available equipment. If left untreated, it can spread to local tissues, the brain, regional lymph nodes, salivary gland, and the lungs. Surgery alone does not provide a cure. Additional therapy (radiation therapy, cryotherapy, hyperthermia or chemotherapy) is also required.
