GOMEZ HAD SURGERY AND IS DOING WELL!π½
Gomez had surgery to surgically remove excess eyelid tissue due to a painful eye condition called Entropian that caused his eyelids to grow inward, leading to a cornea ulcer in his left eye. π
Both of Gomez's upper eyelids were trimmed to prevent fur or hair from rubbing and further damaging the surface of his eyes. Without this surgery, Gomez would have gone blind.
Gomez is doing well post-op; he will wear his cone for 10 days until the sutures can be removed. Gomez will be treated with a topical eye lubricating gel twice daily for the rest of his life which will help soothe and keep his eyes moist. We will have more updates on Gomez soon!
Thank you to our wonderful donors who helped SAVE Gomez sight. Because of your kindness and generosity, this handsome boy will live a good life pain-free!
