\u201cWhen he came in, his left eye was completely proptosed, meaning it was out of the socket and essentially non-viable,\u201d explained Dr. Mark Verdino, Chief of Veterinary Staff<\/strong>.<\/strong> \u201cIt was shriveled, desiccated, and had clearly been that way for quite some time. We\u2019re not entirely sure how it happened; whether it was some type of trauma, a fall, or possibly a condition like juvenile glaucoma causing the eye to swell and bulge out. There\u2019s really no way to know for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Phantom Fluff was immediately treated in our AAHA-accredited Pet Health Centers<\/strong>. Dr. Verdino performed the delicate surgery to remove the damaged eye, giving this brave little kitten a chance at a pain-free future. \u201cThe eye couldn\u2019t be saved,\u201d Dr. Verdino said, \u201cbut he has full vision in the other eye. There\u2019s no evidence of viral disease, ulcers, or conjunctivitis, so the prognosis is very good.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
