                                            2 Eyes in 2 Days 😰
This week at St. Paul Animal Health Clinic, we handled two urgent cases of exophthalmos (eye bulging) in dogs after dog fights. Unfortunately, the trauma was so severe that the eyes could no longer be saved.
💡 Why Enucleation?
When the eye is badly damaged, swollen, or protruding due to severe trauma, infection, or rupture, enucleation (surgical removal of the eye) is often the most humane treatment. 
This procedure:
 • Prevents further pain and complications
 • Reduces the risk of infection spreading
 • Allows pets to recover and live comfortable, happy lives even with one eye (or none)
Both our patients are now on the road to healing—no longer in pain, and soon to be back to their playful selves. 🐾❤️
👉 Remember: in emergencies like dog fights, immediate veterinary attention is crucial to prevent life-threatening complications.
