How to Tell if Your Pet Has an Eye Infection

If your dog or cat has a pet eye infection, call us at Pleasant Valley Veterinary Clinic in McMurray, PA, to make an appointment for pet care with a “veterinarian near me.” Here is more information about pet eye infections, including signs of trouble and what veterinary care a vet on our team provides when you come to our practice.

Signs of an Eye Infection

An eye infection is usually noticeable when a pet has one. You may notice that your dog or cat's eyes appear cloudy. He may squint or blink constantly. There might also be discharge around the eyes if he is dealing with an infection. You may notice that your pet tries to rub at an infected eye in an attempt to stop pain and discomfort. This can cause further injuries to occur, so it is important to stop your pet from this behavior if it is noticed.

What Our Vet Does to Help

When you bring your pet to our practice for veterinary care, a veterinarian on our vet team will assess your dog or cat's eyes to determine whether a pet eye infection is indeed present. From there, we might prescribe some type of medication to help clear it up. This will likely come in the form of eye drops.
