Some are aware already but there may be some that are not...My family has taken in a Desert Tortoise named Jo Jo that had been left in a abandoned houses duck pen. The ducks tormented her for an unknown amount of time, causing injuries to her head and front legs. Her left eye was encapsulated in a "Scab" when we received her, once properly treated there was an eye but not an eyelid. She is able to see to some extent out of this eye but can not close it ever, this demands daily applications of Artificial Tears to prevent her eye from "Drying."
Here's the question.....Would she have a life with less discomfort and not as many challenges if the eye is surgically removed. I know this may seem drastic to some, but her having a life with as little discomfort is my goal ... Whatever that means and Whatever it takes. I sincerely appreciate your honest thoughts and feelings regarding this unusual question. Please feel free to express any thoughts, questions or concerns you may have. Thank You My TFO Friends in advance.
