Post Nineteen: Smokey’s Eye

Smokey recently went in for her second anti-bacterial injection. We hoped for better news but Smokey’s eye is swelling up once again.

We think that Smokey’s eye damage might have been caused by herpes virus but we are not certain at this time. What we are certain about is that the greenish goo that is extracted from her eye socket is caused by the presence of conjunctival tissue that was left in the eye socket which creates a cyst.

Each time her eye is drained it brings on the risk of bacteria entering the eye socket causing an infection.

It is very difficult to distinguish between conjunctival tissue and subcutaneous tissue in the eye socket. Because of this we are now taking Smokey to an Animal Ophthalmologist Surgeon where she will have to go under her third surgery. We need to get this issue corrected so when the yard enclosure is completed Smokey can enjoy her new home with her family.

  So it’s back into surgery for poor Smokey. The date has not been set yet but we will keep you informed.

Again, I truly wish to thank every one who has helped with our cause and please forward our blog onto others who might be interested in following the lives of this wonderful family.

Thank you for reading Kitty Village News.
