Pet Eye Infections

An Overview of the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pet Eye Infections at University Parkway Animal Hospital

It is important for everyone who lives in the Jackson area to make sure their pets have appropriate healthcare from a trained vet. At University Parkway Animal Hospital, one of the most common issues a vet at our animal hospital might treat is an eye infection. When a pet has an eye infection, this has the ability to threaten his or her vision. That is why these eye infections need to be treated as quickly as possible. Trust our vet team to take care of any infection as quickly as possible.

The Diagnosis of a Pet Eye Infection

The diagnosis of any infection of the eye starts with taking a look at the symptoms. Some of the most common symptoms of an infection of the eye include redness, swelling, and difficulty seeing. While a pet might not be able to verbalize vision concerns, he might start bumping into objects. Otherwise, the burden is on per owners to notice these symptoms in their pets.

If these symptoms arise, it is important for animals to visit a vet for assistance.

The Treatment of a Pet Eye Infection

Once an infection has been diagnosed, the next step is to treat it. In many cases, these infections can be treated with some drops that are placed directly into the eye itself. While it might take a few days, the infection will clear up quickly. On the other hand, there might be other cases where oral antibiotics are required. Regardless, this is all handled on a case by case basis. The vet will discuss with the family what the infection is and how it should be treated. Rest assured that at our hospital, your pet is in good hands. We will take care of your pets' healthcare needs.
