Overall

They seem to know what they are doing but are extremely over priced. They even charge for re-check of their initial diagnosis. No other vet does this; I do not see why they do not guarantee their work as the others.

Preventive Care

Dental Care
Prior to surgery, a dental cleaning should be performed if needed to reduce bacteria in the mouth. Additionally, function of the salivary gland can be confirmed with a drop of atropine or other bitter substance on the gums and observation of the duct opening for saliva.
Vaccination
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Our vets specialize in animal eye care, which means they see a large number of cat & dog eye problems every day. Here are many of the common eye conditions your pet could have.
Nutritional Counseling
Bartonella infection is usually treated with a 3-week course of the oral antibiotic azithromycin. This course of therapy has been shown to clear infection in 83% of affected cats. If repeat testing (see below) indicates inadequate therapy, another course of treatment will probably be recommended. Control of flea problems is also important to prevent re-infection. The main side effects of azithromicin therapy are gastrointestinal ones (vomiting, decreased appetite, and diarrhea). If side effects occur, please let us know right away.
Comprehensive Examination
Recheck examinations are important for the doctor to determine the condition of the eyes and to advise you on medical therapy. The number of appointments will depend upon your pet's progress, but 4-6 examinations are typically required during the first 6 months after surgery. Annual examinations are recommended for long-term monitoring.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Bartonellosis is caused by infection with one of five Bartonella species of bacteria including Bartonella henselae. This is the bacterium that can cause "cat scratch" disease in people. The bacteria can be transmitted between cats by fleas and ticks. The bacteria can be spread to people primarily by cat scratches and bites. Most infected people do not become ill. However, since it is a potentially zoonotic disease (can be transmitted from animals to humans), you should bring any concern to your physician. Cats can remain infected for years or even for life if untreated. Most infected cats show no signs of illness. There is some disagreement amongst veterinarians as to what Bartonella infection can do to cats. The organism has been blamed for causing a variety of problems in cats including oral, respiratory, intestinal, and ocular diseases.
Pain Management
During each surgery, a dedicated nurse will administer anesthesia and continuously monitor your pet using electronic patient monitoring equipment. Pain management will also be provided.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment

Infection Treatment

Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Unfortunately, the diagnostic tests that are currently available to definitively diagnose a herpes infection are unreliable. This is particularly true for chronic cases. The doctor may recommend testing in select cases. Most of the testing on our feline patients where we suspect a herpes infection is to rule-out secondary bacterial infections, alternative diagnoses, or other complicating factors (eg., eosinophilic disease).

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Causes of retinal hemorrhage include high blood pressure, decreased blood platelets, decreased clotting factors, diabetes mellitus and cancer.
Thyroid Disease Treatment
The last main type of corneal lipid deposition is lipid keratopathy that can occur due to a high blood cholesterol level. In other words, the eye problem is the result of a systemic (generalized) health problem. For example, hypothyroid dogs can have very high blood cholesterol levels. Sometimes this first manifests in the eye(s) as corneal opacities. It usually affects both eyes but might initially show up in just one eye. Besides hypothyroidism, other underlying causes include Cushing's Disease, diabetes, inherited problems with lipid metabolism (e.g., Miniature Schnauzers), and even high-fat diets.
Heart Disease Treatment
Our monitors consist of a pulse oximeter, electrocardiograph (ECG), end-tidal CO2 monitor, blood pressure unit, and a nerve stimulator. Only isoflurane or sevoflurane gases are used. A ventilator is available to ensure the adequacy of respirations in our anesthetized patients.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Corneal degeneration is common in geriatric dogs. In this instance, the lipid deposits are usually associated with an even greater mineral component. This can be a greater problem if there are health problems, such as kidney disease, causing problems with calcium and phosphorus levels. Blood work might be recommended to help evaluate the problem. In the geriatric pets, ongoing medical therapy is usually needed in the advanced stage. Sometimes a deep piece of degenerated cornea will be sloughed from the eye resulting in a serious corneal ulcer. This can necessitate intensive medical therapy and/or surgery to save the eye.
Cancer Treatment
If your pet is experiencing skin cancer or growths around the eye, droopy upper or lower eyelids or tear duct problems, speak with your veterinarian to see if orbital or eyelid surgery is right for your pet. Eyelid tumor removal and exenteration of the orbit.

Dental Surgery
Medical therapy can temporarily alleviate some of the discomfort in some cases. It will not correct the problem, however. The ideal therapy, at least for anteriorly luxated lenses, is surgical extraction of the lens (assuming that there has not yet been permanent damage to the eye that would prohibit vision after surgery). If the condition has been chronic and/or has already caused permanent blindness, your pet may be a better candidate for a procedure directed at comfort, such as placement of a prosthesis or complete eye removal.
Ophthalmic Surgery
Northwest Animal Eye Specialists is fully equipped to perform eye examinations and animal eye surgery. We also have two types of instruments available to determine the indirect blood pressure of our patients, either suspected as being hypertensive or for anesthesia monitoring.
Veterinary Surgery
Laser Surgery
We treat a variety of eyelash disorders. In certain cases like distichiasis, ectopic cilia, and other eyelash disorders, laser surgery is the preferred method for removing the affected eyelashes.

Dog Training
Prior to getting into the veterinary field, she worked with the Peace Corps in Morocco. While in veterinary school, she volunteered with racehorse rescues and taught puppy training courses! Outside of work, she loves to sew, hike, and ski. She adores the Pacific Northwest and would likely never leave the slopes if she could. At home, she has two adorable dogs: Georgie and Marcel.
