🩺🐾 What is a TonoVet Test in Dogs? 🐾🩺

Monitoring eye health is crucial for our furry friends! One key test used by veterinarians is the TonoVet test to measure eye pressure.

🔬 How it’s done:
1. The TonoVet device gently taps the surface of your dog’s eye.
2. This measures the intraocular pressure (IOP) without causing discomfort.
👁️ Why it's important:
* Detects Glaucoma: Elevated IOP can indicate glaucoma, which can lead to blindness if untreated.
* Prevents Eye Damage: Regular testing can help detect issues early, preventing serious eye damage.
* Monitors Eye Health: Helps in managing and monitoring ongoing eye conditions effectively.

🩺🐾 What is a Schirmer Tear Test in Dogs? 🐾🩺

Keeping our furry friends' eyes healthy is essential! One important test used by veterinarians is the Schirmer Tear Test.

🔬 How it’s done:
1. A small strip of special paper is placed inside the lower eyelid of your dog.
2. The strip absorbs tears for a few minutes to measure tear production.
👁️ Why it's important:
* Detects Dry Eye: Ensures your dog's eyes are producing enough tears to stay healthy and comfortable.
* Prevents Eye Infections: Proper tear production helps wash away debris and bacteria.
* Monitors Chronic Conditions: Regular testing can help manage ongoing issues like keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS).

🩺🐾What is a Fluorescein Stain in Dogs?🐾🩺
Ever wondered how veterinarians check for eye issues in dogs? One common and essential test is the fluorescein stain.

👁️How it’s done:
1. A special fluorescent dye is applied to your dog’s eye.
2. A blue light is then used to highlight any abnormalities or injuries.

👁️Why it's important:
• Detects Corneal Ulcers: The dye adheres to areas where the cornea is damaged, making it easier to spot ulcers or scratches.
• Jones Test: This test checks if the tear ducts are functioning properly by observing the flow of dye from the eye to the nose.

Swipe left to see:
1. 🎥 A video demonstration of the fluorescein stain process.
2. 📸 A dog's eye under blue light after the stain was applied.
3. 📸 The results of the Jones test showing the dye reaching the nose.

Talk to your family veterinarian for a referral and schedule an appointment to provide the care your pet needs.
