What is Enucleation?

Our eyes are just as fragile as those of our dogs and cats. Most pet owners can easily imagine how eye pain can degrade quality of life. The goals in treating eye damage start with preserving vision, and failing that, to prevent pain or further damage. Enucleation is a common and well-understood but irreversible surgical option for protecting a pet’s comfort when vision is no longer possible. The team at Animal Emergency Care wants you to know that pets can live active, joyful lives even with a permanent wink.
