When I brought him home for the first time, I took him for a general check up and he had an ear infection due to living conditions, so we gave him medication for it and clean them regularly. One morning a few days later he woke up and his left eye wouldnt open. I took him back to the vet and they said I had to take him to a Specialist right away. I got an emergency appointment and she said the best options is to remove it as he had an ulcer for a while and it was irritating him so he had been itching it and it ended up popping the cornea. I was devastated! My poor little guy! Anyway they went ahead and removed it, which i was informed would relieve him of the pain of having it stay in it's socket. and they stitched him up, For about two weeks he had his stitches and cone on...........but now he is as good as can be. He has sooo much character and love........it's sad but he is still my blessing none the less!!

So from my long story, i just wanted to say....I understand your pain but don't worry, these little guys are tough and full of love and life that they can handle more than we think Keep us posted on Kia's progress !!
That is a touching story and Coco is adorable
