Corneal Foreign Body

hannah1a.JPG (15259 bytes) Here's "Hunting Hannah". She's a German Long-hair Pointer who loves the great outdoors and hunting as much as her owners. She developed a very sore left eye after one of her hunts. Close examination revealed a splinter imbedded in the cornea (the thin clear layer in the center of the eye).

Follow the progress of the removal of the foreign body in the pictures below (this procedure was preformed with general anesthesia):
