Our team quickly noticed something was wrong with Piper—her eye was swollen, and she was crying from it, a sure sign she was in pain.
Whenever an animal shows signs of eye irritation, it’s considered an emergency. Eyes can worsen quickly, so we immediately called Dr. Metcalf to come take a look.
The Diagnosis
After a careful exam, Dr. Metcalf found a bacterial ulcer—likely caused by Piper accidentally scratching her eye on something in her enclosure.
Treatment & Healing
Piper began a treatment plan right away, including eye drops three times a day and pain medication to keep her comfortable. Our team monitors her closely, and Dr. Metcalf checks her eye at every visit.
Slow but Steady Progress
Healing an eye ulcer takes time, but we’re encouraged—each checkup shows signs of improvement! Piper’s eye is slowly but surely on the mend, and she’s handling her treatments like the gentle, patient soul she is.
