Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
We have had lots of different eye problems to cope with at our sanctuary but we have never had any experience with actual eye removal.
Now I am thinking that when a bunny has an eye removed the lids are stitched together and it is neat and tidy. The eye isn't just removed and the socket left exposed :?
Having had a good look at our new arrival Frank this morning, he has got an empty socket that is full of pus and red raw tissue Now obviously the pus thing is wrong but I am wondering that if the socket has been left exposed, whether it is infected or not, then maybe he hasn't had the eye surgically removed but rather there is a chance he was born without it :?
Obviously he is going to the vets, but I was just wondering about how the eye came to be missing so I look a bit more informed when we see the vet :lol:
So basically my question is - Is it possible for a vet to remove an eye surgically and leave an open socket?
I have included a couple of piccys but it is hard to se anything clearly
This is after I have cleaned it up, pus was oozing out on his face before that
And some of his pretty face
