How the Placerville Traveling Clinic Works
Our Placerville Traveling Clinic offers days for specialty eye care. During your visit, we’ll review your pet’s medical history, perform a focused ophthalmic exam, and discuss treatment recommendations. Depending on your pet’s needs, we may be able to start management right away or recommend follow-up at our Rocklin location for advanced testing or procedures.
If your pet’s eye looks suddenly painful or abnormal, it’s always appropriate to call. Some eye conditions progress quickly, and our team can help you decide whether to schedule the next Placerville date or seek more immediate care.
