To us, it’s just a walk, a ball, a familiar face.
To them, it’s their whole world. ❤️👁️

Their world is worth seeing.
Their vision is worth protecting. 🐾

👁️ See that brown plaque? It was the clue we needed…

This French bulldog’s deep corneal ulcer had us concerned, but the pigmented plaque made fungal keratitis jump to the top of our list. 🔬

Cytology delivered the answer: fungal hyphae. 🍄

The species wasn’t confirmed, but that brown pigmentation had us suspicious of Curvularia.

Treatment? Keratectomy + conjunctival graft + topical antifungal therapy.

👀 Would fungal keratitis have been on your differential list?

Different species. Different eyes. Different stories.

But the goal is always the same: save vision when we can, restore comfort when we can’t, and give every animal the best life possible. ❤️

From the smallest patients to the largest, from routine exams to life-changing surgeries—we’re incredibly fortunate to do what we do.

“And you stay busy with that?”

Yeah. 🥹👁️

Every eye matters. Every patient matters.

🦎 Tiny patient. Big eye problem. Specialized solution. 👁️

Yesterday, we had the privilege of operating on this little leopard gecko with severe corneal endothelial disease and chronic corneal edema. The swelling had caused his right eye to become more globoid, preventing him from blinking completely and leaving his cornea dangerously exposed.

Temporary tarsorrhaphies helped—but once removed, the problem returned. So we called in some expert backup! 🙌

We were incredibly grateful to have Dr. Bret Moore of Cornell University, co-author and editor of Wild and Exotic Animal Ophthalmology, join us to perform a permanent tarsorrhaphy—reducing his ocular exposure and helping protect the cornea from future ulceration.

Surgery went beautifully, and our tiny patient recovered like an absolute champ. 💪🦎
