Fawn cataract surgery results

December 23rd, 2009

The fawn’s surgery on Monday went well. The stress of the operation and the anesthesia was a concern but she did great!  Thanks to Dr. Doug Ruby at Quail Creek Animal Hospital and his staff!

Dr. Gwin, veterinarian ophthalmologist, removed both cataracts as planned.  The fawn’s left eye had some other complications that were addressed at the time.  We are most hopeful of improved sight in the right eye.  The left eye we will just have to see.

We got her home Monday afternoon where she was still a little groggy but wanted to eat!  We had to withhold food 36 hours before surgery so by Monday afternoon she had only one thing on her mind, food!

Today, Tuesday, her appetite and attitude are great!  She is already showing a menace response in her right eye.  In a few more days we will know more.

With the skilled hands of Dr. Robert Gwin and his staff and the  thoroughness of Dr. Doug Ruby and staff this little fawn was in great hands!  Thanks to both of them and to all of you who made this possible!
