Skuggi was seen by us as an emergency when her owners noticed her squinting and rubbing at her eye and her own vets suspecting a foreign body.
Due to the size and depth Skuggi needed to have an anaesthetic to remove it as there was a risk of the eye leaking once it had been removed.
The surgery went well, the offending material - a piece of slate! was removed and a suture was placed to close the cornea.
Skuggi has not been impressed having to wear a buster collar to prevent her rubbing or having to stay indoors but we are happy to report that the wound is healing well.

The very handsome Alfie the French Bulldog came to see us as he had two dermoids growing on his eyelid and conjunctiva.
A dermoid is usually a mass of normal tissue, often containing hair follicles and hair growing on the surface of the eyeball or eyelid. These are suspected to be an inherited condition and some breeds like Alfie are more susceptible.
They need to be surgically removed under general anaesthetic to prevent corneal irritation, ulcers, pain and vision loss.
Alfie's surgery went well and no further treatment will be needed. As much as he enjoyed Anna cuddles he is very happy to be discharged from our care

In January Willow came in for Entropion surgery on her right eye.
Entropion is a condition where the eyelid rolls into the eye, causing hairs to constantly rub on the surface of the eye leading to inflammation, infection and ulceration.
Willow was really nervous about being here without her Dad but after spending time playing with us, the eyeball toy and Wolfie the resident eye dog she soon relaxed. This meant she had a much nicer, stressfree recovery and was very happy to come back to see us.
The corrective surgery was a great success and after seeing Willow for her six week post surgery check up she is now much more comfortable.

Today was all about teaching Ela, Cibyn Veterinary Clinic 's trainee nurse how to use our state of the art ventilator.
This ventilator has AI capabilities to know when to assist the patient with breathing and when to back off.
All our patients get to use the ventilator as standard along with intensive monitoring and a nurse certificate holder in anaesthesia.

Matilda is one of our regular visitors due to chronic corneal ulcers and cataracts. We now put her to work by writing up her own notes and making us all a panad 😊

Billy was referred to us by his own vet after his owner noticed his eye had suddenly gone cloudy.
He hadn't had previous problems with his eyes, could see well and wasn't showing any signs of discomfort.
After a thorough examination of perfectly normal eyes we did a bit more digging.
Billy was definitely on the....larger side and lived on a diet of human foods with plenty of treats.
We took bloods which showed the effects of a high fat human diet - high cholesterol, triglycerides, and amylase.
He is now on a strict diet with limited treats and increased exercise to lose the weight and thanks to his new lifestyle the cloudy corneas have cleared and he is back to living a much better life.
Billy's case just goes to show how important it is to feed a good quality, balanced diet with careful weight management as obesity can affect all parts of a pets body.

Today we got to see a very cute, friendly guinea pig called Winnie. He came to see us after his own vets diagnosed glaucoma in one eye.
On examination, for which he was extremely well behaved, we discovered that he has a condition called Osseous Metaplasia in both eyes. This is a condition that affects less than 1% of elderly guinea pigs, and causes bone to grow within the eye.
He has started on some eye drops to control the pressure and we look forward to seeing in again to monitor his response.

Moos, owned by one of our vets at Cibyn came to see Freya for a totally unrelated condition to what we found. On examination we noticed he has Iris Colobomas. This is a developmental disorder that is usually inherited. The pupil is an unusual shape and the iris has thinning or a hole present. Depending on the severity the animal can be sensitive to light as the iris is unable to constrict properly.
Thankfully in Moos' case it is very mild and would normally have gone unnoticed, it certainly doesn't stop him being a cheeky chap!

The very gorgeous and well behaved Dipper came in for an appointment as his owners had noticed white marks in his eyes.
On examination we found bilateral Pupillary Persistent Membranes.
These are a normal part of embryonic growth, initially starting as solid sheet which then disappears to form a pupil as the puppy developes in the womb.
Sometimes strands of this tissue can attach to other parts in the eye, usually the iris, lens or cornea and don't disappear.
They rarely cause a problem to vision and just need to be monitored as Dipper grows.
