This adult female had a nose bleed, and was lethargic and dehydrated. She was immediately placed on a drip, and soon it became evident that her sight was affected, too. We suspected that all her symptoms were due to head trauma.<\/p>\n<p>Following a consult with veterinary eye specialist Dr. Lo-An Odayar, she was diagnosed with central blindness. Her eyes were both normal, but because of the bump to her head, her brain wasn\u2019t \u201cseeing.\u201d Anti-inflammatories and rest were prescribed. We had to wait and see whether this trauma would resolve.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully she made a full recovery and her sight returned.
