“Bunny might lose her eye.” 😮
Is what we thought when we saw her the first time. But experience has taught us to always look beyond the obvious. A closer examination revealed that it wasn’t her eye that was injured - it was the tear duct right next to it.
Bunny had an infected tear sac. When the tear duct becomes blocked, tears can’t drain properly, creating the perfect environment for bacteria and germs to grow. The infection caused the tissue around her eye to become swollen and jelly-like, while her eyelids puffed up like fluid-filled blisters. Thankfully, her eye itself was completely healthy.
Under sedation, the blocked tear duct was flushed with sterile saline, and a cannula was used to remove the accumulated pus and discharge. She was then started on antibiotic eye drops, anti-inflammatory medication, and additional treatment to help the area heal faster.
Just three days later... the transformation was incredible. ✨ The swelling was gone, the pus and discharge had disappeared, and most importantly, Bunny’s eye and her vision were perfectly fine. 😋
Her parents were happily relieved, and so were we! It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. Before-and-after stories like Bunny’s will never stop being some of our favourites to share. ❤️🩹
