I videoed removing an infectious coryza eye infection

[humblehillsfarm]

I asked a nurse friend to help. I thought she would have approached the removal differently. I stopped the video and used alligator forceps to finish the job and have some surgical tweezers and hemostats to have if needed in the future.

Unfortunately I didn’t immediately realize what was going on with his eye but had known he had a respiratory infection. It wasn’t until I came across a YouTube video purely on accident and realized his eye could be saved. I am still not sure if his eye is intact. He has been on Tylan and Baytril. His appetite is pretty good.

Thank you! It was very ew. He’s a good boy and worth the effort though. He took this procedure like a champion.

Thank you! This morning he was more or less the same. Still no idea if the eye was saved.
