Why is my dog scratching himself?

Earlier this year, I opened the doors to my very own veterinary ophthalmology practice, and what a start it has been! I’ve been overwhelmed by the support, trust, and kindness of our clients, patients, and referring veterinarians in Southwest Florida. I would love to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has made this journey so special.

If your dog’s eye looks cloudy or blue, your dog may have been diagnosed with corneal endothelial cell degeneration. While the name sounds intimidating, this age-related eye condition is common in dogs and can often be managed to keep your pup comfortable.

The OFA Companion Animal Eye Registry (CAER)¹ exists so breeders like you can make informed decisions about breeding healthy dogs.

Visionary Vet Services is holding a RACE®-approved, interactive 1.5 hour session with Dr. Lindsay Seyer covering all the essentials about diagnosing and treatments for pet patients with ocular conditions.

Deep ulcers in your pet’s eyes are more concerning than superficial ulcers and can lead to total loss of vision or rupture.

This is a common question that many pooch parents have. You come into the vet office thinking your dog has cataracts, but that may not actually be the case. There are other conditions that make your dog’s eyes cloudy, especially if your dog is getting older. 

Getting regular checkups at your primary vet is on many people’s radars. However, visiting a veterinary ophthalmologist is often overlooked, yet it’s a necessary part of taking care of your pet.

Calling all referring and primary vets in Southwest Florida!

Ever since I was a child, I wanted to be a vet. In fact, when I was 8 years old, I painted a self-portrait in art class about what I wanted to be when I grew up, and you guessed it—that painting is of a vet!

Some ulcers will heal on their own. But some are tricky and want to stick around on your pet’s eyes.
