We will endeavour to make the appointment for you as soon as possible. We can be heavily booked, so it is best to book ahead.
\n\n\n\n
If your pet is suffering from a condition that is considered an emergency your general practitioner vet can call us to help organise an emergency consultation.
\n\n
\n\nWe ask for your patience and understanding during the booking process as we see patients in order of urgency.

Your veterinarian will always be updated about the diagnosis and treatment of your pet's condition whilst in our care.
\n\n
\n\nIf you live a long way from our clinic, Animal Eye Services is always available for telephone consultation with your veterinarian regarding your pet’s condition. Some distant veterinarians may also email digital photos so that we can more accurately define their patient’s eye condition. We also invite veterinarians to attend our clinic so that they can observe and gain first hand experience in the diagnosis and treatment of different eye conditions.
\n\n
\n\nBecause conditions of the eye can sometimes be an indicator for disease of the rest of the body, we will occasionally suggest referral onto other veterinary specialists such as internal medicine clinicians, oncologists, cardiologists dermatologists or general surgeons. Many of these services exist within the same hospital for your convenience.
