There are many reasons your pet may lose vision. One of those is from a detachment of the retina, the nerve tissue on the back of the eye. Fortunately, when diagnosed and treated early this problem can be corrected with surgery. We are pleased to serve as one of the few hospitals in the nation that provides this surgical procedure.

Many people often wonder how they would tell if their dog was having difficulty seeing. There are some subtle clues to watch out for that may indicate a vision problem. Dogs are masters at adapting to new environments and utilizing other senses such as scent, hearing, and tactile clues when their vision is diminished. Vision problems therefore are best noted when dogs are in unfamiliar environments. You can learn more about some signs to look out for on our blog: https://www.acvo.org/tips-treatments-tricks/is-my-dog-having-difficulty-seeing
