Preventive Care

Dental Care
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Genetic diseases are those that are passed on from parent to offspring through genes that carry the codes for each specific trait. Many of the diseases and disorders that affect the eyes are associated with specific genetic factors and multiple eye diseases which affect dogs are known to exhibit evidence of a genetic or heritable cause. The Top 10 Genetic Diseases according to the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO) are listed below.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Pain Management
Left untreated, cataracts continue to leak proteins into the eye. These proteins cause inflammation within the eye and predispose your pet to lens luxation (discoloration of the lens inside the eye), retinal detachment, and/or glaucoma (damage to the optic nerve which leads to blindness). Although retinal detachment is not painful, lens luxation, inflammation, and glaucoma are, and your dog may need pain medication.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
More than 90% of cats have been exposed to feline herpes virus (FHV), an upper respiratory disease that is transmitted by direct contact with the virus through saliva, eye, or nose secretions. Although nearly all cats are exposed to the virus, not all will develop signs of the disease.

Infection Treatment

Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), also known as feline AIDS), and Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) disease complex caused by the coronavirus, all of which cannot be spread to people.
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Corneal sequestrum is disease mostly unique to cats. A sequestrum is an area of dead corneal tissue. A sequestrum typically forms because of chronic ulceration or trauma to the cornea. This can be from external factors like hair rubbing due to entropion or from ulceration secondary to viral infection. Once the corneal collagen starts to die it turns dark brown to black. Once a sequestrum has formed the cornea will not heal unless the dead cornea is removed. This will typically require surgery to remove the dead tissue and then replace it with a graft.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
In dogs, the most common cause of cataract formation is genetics. The cataracts are inherited and can either be present at birth (congenital) or can develop later in life. The second most common cause of cataracts in dogs is diabetes mellitus. Diabetic cataracts tend to develop very quickly. Statistics show that 80% of dogs with diabetes will develop complete cataracts within 1 year of developing diabetes. Other causes of cataract formation include trauma, intraocular inflammation (uveitis), and nutrition. In cats, cataracts are typically not genetic but form secondary to trauma or uveitis.
Heart Disease Treatment
It is necessary to ensure that your pet has a healthy retina prior to cataract surgery. The retina is a tissue paper-like membrane in the back of the eye that allows for vision, analogous to the film in a camera. If the retina is not functioning properly, removing the cataract and implanting an artificial lens will not improve your pet’s vision. We perform two tests to evaluate retinal function prior to cataract surgery; an electroretinogram (ERG) and an ocular ultrasound (US). The ERG is similar to that of an EKG for your heart. It tests the electrical activity or function of the retina. The ultrasound allows us to evaluate the structure of the eye by giving us visualization of the posterior segment.
Cancer Treatment
Bartonellosis (Cat scratch fever) is caused by bacteria that can be spread to people, especially those that are young or immunosuppressed by other diseases or chemotherapy.

Veterinary Surgery
Laser Surgery
If medication alone becomes ineffective or if a pet is at a high risk of vision loss, laser surgery may also be used. One surgical option is called Endocyclophotocoagulation or ECPC. During the surgery, a strong beam of light is used to destroy the ciliary processes, the part of the eye that produces the aqueous humor, which then reduces the fluid production in the eye. Another is an Enucleation, which involves removing the eye and sewing the eyelids shut. There are also options that remove parts of the eye and replace them with a prosthesis which offers a cosmetic approach. Yet another is a ciliary body ablation or chemical ablation where the veterinarian injects drugs that try to stop all intraocular fluid production. If done to an eye with vision, this procedure will cause blindness, so a ciliary body ablation is reserved for those that are blind and experiencing pain from the elevated pressure. All surgeries present different risks and those should be discussed with your veterinary ophthalmologist.
