Enucleatiion

Question
I know a vet can read on how to remove a dog's eye and I believe my dog's vet can perform the procedure. I want to know what you think about a Veterinarian removing a dog's eye?

Answer
Hello,
Are you concerned about the reason for the eye removal or that your vet offered to do it?

Enucleations are unfortunately relatively common procedures due to painful eyes that can't be medically managed. This is a routine procedure that all vets would do regularly. Why is the eye being removed?

Hope that helps.
