Jenni: Luxated Lens and Glaucoma
Jenni had an anterior luxated lens in the left eye; she also had glaucoma. The vet discussed it with an eye specialist and it was decided that the best treatment was to remove the eye. Her treatment included two pain relievers and an antibiotic twice a day along with a cold compress to the surgery site twice a day. Critical Care was force feed 2 - 3 times a day if she was not eating.
