Kitten with No Eyes Finds the Purr-fect HomeWhitby Wildlife Sanctuary in Yorkshire, UK, normally takes in injured foxes, badgers, squirrels, and birds, but they occasionally serve feral cats and dogs who need help. They were brought a kitten that had been found with his feral mother and siblings. The kitten couldn't see due to infected eyes. Veterinarians worked to remove one badly-damaged eye and save the other, but ultimately neither eye could be saved. During the surgery, the kitten received plasma from a dog named Bruno, and so he came to be named Bruno as well.With the infected eyes removed, Bruno was no longer in pain, but it would be very difficult to find a home for him. As Bruno recovered from surgery and showed his winning personality, one of the veterinary surgeons who cared for him decided to adopt him. Now Bruno is an indoor cat and is adapting well to his forever home. -via Fark (Image credit: Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary) #cat #blind #veterinarian

A "Medical Mystery": Totally Blind Dog Fooled a Vet After It Completed an Obstacle Course Like No Other Blind Dog CanA 'furmom' named Jane Downes got her dog, Dave, from an animal rescue center in February 2020, where Dave was cleared of issues regarding his eyesight. Dave has lived a pretty normal and happy life just like other dogs, although there are instances when he walked into things that may have implied a problem with his sight. However, Jane saw this as a result of Dave being a sheepdog who may have spent his years living in a barn rather than a house.A few months later, Dave stumbled over a step in a pet shop and the owner of the shop suggested that Dave might be blind. Jane then took Dave to a specialist vet who confirmed that Dave has been blind since birth. He added that despite Dave's eye condition, he performs well in obstacle courses; he does not behave in a way other blind dogs do, which remains a mystery up to this day. #dogs #animals #medical #mystery #veterinary #blind
