Veterinary Internal Medicine
One of the disheartening frustrations of dealing with a sick pet is that you cannot simply ask them what is wrong. To best uncover what is ailing our pet patients, Eagle Animal Hospital at Riverside has invested in the latest advanced diagnostic technology. When your pet is not well, we need to find out what is wrong. After performing a thorough examination, a series of diagnostic tests is often necessary to identify the medical condition. Once a condition has been diagnosed, all our veterinarians are knowledgeable in and equipped to manage a multitude of diseases, including diabetes, Cushing's disease, Addison's disease, kidney disease, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism. Contact Eagle Animal Hospital & Pet Resort today to schedule an appointment with one of our veterinarians.

Pet Glaucoma Screening
Glaucoma is a common condition in which the fluid pressure inside the eye increases, resulting in damage to the optic nerve, followed by loss of vision and blindness. There are two types of glaucoma. Primary, or chronic, glaucoma is hereditary or develops as your pet ages. Secondary, or acute, glaucoma develops as the result of an injury or illness. As secondary glaucoma can progress rapidly, it is considered an emergency situation.
Symptoms of glaucoma to look for include:
- Redness in the eye
- Tearing or discharge
- Eye sensitivity to light
- Pain
- Cloudy-looking eye
- Bulging eyeball
At Eagle Animal Hospital in Riverside, our veterinarians highly recommend routine glaucoma exams as part of your pet's regular wellness care. The exam is not only an effective screening measure for chronic and acute glaucoma, it can also help set a baseline measurement of your pet's normal intraocular pressure (IOP). Establishing an IOP baseline is important because the normal measurement can vary between species, breeds, and even individual pets. Screening is simple and noninvasive. Although it shouldn't cause your pet any pain or discomfort, we apply a mild anesthetic eye-drop to ensure your pet is comfortable during the exam.
Should we uncover any additional problems with your pet's eyes, our veterinarians are skilled in performing a variety of ocular services and surgeries, including cherry eye repairs, entropion surgeries, and treatment for uveitis and corneal scratches or ulcers.
