I just went through this several months ago. My little Itzi scratched her eye I think when I was hiding Easter Eggs for my nieces and nephews. I took her to the vet and I was sent to a Ophthamlmologist. She was started on 5 different antibotics and one ointment to stop the infection. No sleep for two days. When we went back for a recheck, she had gotten worse and was rushed to surgery to save the eye (Told I could have it removed for 150.00, if I didn't want to spend the money) They preformed a Pedicle graft. To make a long story short. Her eye was saved- she has 55% vision in that eye with some scare tissue left from the surgery, but she still has her eye !!! I was very blessed everything worked out.
