Veterinarian in Palm Harbor Pet Care Tip – Are Your Pets’ Eyes Healthy?

Your pet can suffer from eye problems just like humans do. At the first sign of a problem it is important to have a veterinarian check your pet’s eyes right away. This can prevent more serious complications.

Common problems include red eye, cataracts, glaucoma, eye tumors, inflammation, defects of the eyelids, discharge, retinal degeneration and other problems.

Red Eye – Both cats and dogs can get red eye. This is when the blood vessels of the conjunctiva (the pink lining of the eyeball and eyelids), sclera (white covering of the eye), or cornea (clear surface of the eye) become enlarged or more numerous. It may also happen when the structures inside the eye become inflamed, with glaucoma (high pressure within the eye) or with other diseases of the eye socket. Irritation from allergies or infections caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi can also cause red eyes in pets.. Either one or both eyes can become red, depending upon what is causing the problem. It is important to keep your pets eyes clean, and to eliminate the cause with appropriate medication.

Cherry Eye – Unlike people, dogs and cats have a ‘third eyelid’ that contains a tear gland and is located in the corner of each eye. Normally this gland is not visible and it helps in the production of tears. This gland can “prolapse” or come out of its normal position and get swollen creating the condition. Cherry eye is not a common occurrence with cats.

Dry Eyes – This term is used describe a condition of decreased tear production. The term technically means “inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva from drying.” When the watery part of the tears is not produced in adequate amounts, the eye becomes inflamed, leading scarring and pigmentation of the cornea and can lead to decreased vision.

Ocular (Eye) Discharge – Ocular discharge is a common symptom of eye disease. Discharge may develop suddenly or gradually. The discharge may appear to be watery, mucus-like, or bloody. The amount of discharge is a good indication of how serious the disease is.

If you notice anything irregular occurring with your pets’ eyes you should call your veterinarian right away and plan to bring them in to the clinic and get it checked out immediately. Your pet is as dependent on their vision as we humans are, and they are dependent on you to notice something is wrong. There are scientifically formulated products to keep you pets’ eyes clean.

Many people use movers when they relocate from one house
to another. If you are interested in going this route, it is helpful to know what makes a good moving company. This is especially important if you know anything about the agency you are considering, as having an idea of how a good moving company should work can allow you to see whether the one you have chosen is the best for you.

You should feel that the movers you chose are professional. Of course, this does not mean that they have to show up in business professional attire, but their attitude should be respectful. This means returning any phone calls, supplying you with the truck you asked for, and showing up on-time.

If you have boxes that are fragile and marked as such, the movers should treat them as if there were glass in each one, whether there is or not. You should be able to trust that your things are safe with them and will be treated carefully.

Mistakes and misunderstandings do occur sometimes, but a professional company should handle it well. Blaming you or getting defensive is a sign of an agency that does not treat its customers very well.

If the movers you select show up late due to unforeseen circumstances, or accidentally drop a box and break some items, most reputable companies will compensate you in some way. This may include free or discounted services, though an even apology and offering some other way to fix the issue is considered professional.

Some companies offer extra services free of charge to their customers, especially if you are buying one of their bigger service packages. For example, it is not unheard of for movers to provide moving boxes and duct tape free when you rent a truck and some employees to help you relocate.

If you are not offered such convenience, there is no harm in asking whether you get a discount on other products or services when you purchase a particular package.

Hopefully the company you choose is one that you will be proud to recommend to friends and family should they ever need help moving. When you do choose an agency, consider how you feel during the process, as good companies will make you feel like a valued customer.
