Veterinary Vision will be closed next Monday for Labor Day. If you are running low on medications, please call us today.

Labor Day pet safety tips:
-Avoid feeding you pet fatty foods such as hot dogs or hamburgers. Instead, they can safely enjoy some unseasoned white meat chicken, carrots or salt and butter free popcorn.
-Make sure your pet has plenty of fresh water to drink if you are spending the day outside in the heat.
-Monitor your pet around large bodies of water or when swimming.
-Keep a collar with your home address and phone number on it and keep all gates locked during the fireworks if your pet gets scared and attempts to run in fear.

This is Bucketz! Bucketz was diagnosed with diabetes last year and unfortunately quickly developed cataracts in both eyes which was greatly affecting his vision. He passed all of his presurgical cataract testing and had cataract surgery in both eyes 1 month ago. He has been doing amazing and has full vision back!!! Way to go Bucketz!
First photo is prior to surgery.
Second and third photos are during surgery.
Fourth and fifth photos are from last week during his recheck exam.

Did you know that many species of geckos don't have eyelids? That is why they lick their eyes. They use their tongue to keep their eyes moist and clean. If they didn't, the surface of their eyes would become dried and dirty, like trying to see through a dirty windshield.

These last 3 weeks, we have had the pleasure of getting to work with Hana, a fourth year veterinary student from Tuskegee University. We have been helping her learn about ophthalmology, the different diseases and complications she may see in her future patients, the best tests to perform, and the best treatment options. We understand and value the importance of education and fostering a good relationship with our colleagues and we have so enjoyed getting to work with Hana. We are confident that she will make an outstanding Veterinarian! 🐾🩺

Iris melanosis is a brown pigment change to the iris (the colored portion of the eye) resulting from melanocytes. Iris melanosis is benign but can quickly turn to melanoma which is malignant. The first sign is a brown spot or a “freckle” on the iris. There is no way to guarantee that iris melanosis is not going to transform to a melanoma. Frequent rechecks with your veterinarian for any change is very important. If melanoma is suspected due to rapid color change or raised areas, enucleation or removal of the eye with biopsy may be recommended as well as chest x-rays to look for metastasis.

This Thursday is the 4th of July. We will be closed to enjoy the holiday. 4th of July and the fireworks are a lot of fun, but there can be hazards for your pet. Below is some helpful tips to keep your pets safe over this holiday weekend.

Eyelid masses are not uncommon and usually arise from the meibomian glands (oil producing glands of the eyelids). The majority of eyelid masses are benign and are called adenomas. Malignant tumors can also grow around the eyes. It is recommended that a questionable mass be excised and submitted for histopathology. Removal of lid adenomas can involve cryosurgery (freezing), laser ablation or even surgical excision, depending on size and location of the mass. Some can be removed with local anesthesia only, although many do require sedation or general anesthesia.

We will be closed next Thursday, July 4th to celebrate the holiday! Please call us this week if you are running low on your pets medications.
