ABSTRACT:

We as veterinary professionals are often faced with challenging patients that require up-close and personal attention. A common scenario seen in veterinary practice is administering eye medications to an aggressive or difficult patient. This article discusses nursing considerations for these patients with a corneal graft and the use of a subpalpebral lavage system to aid us with our treatments. Perhaps with more options available we will not have to be so quick to sway towards enucleation for these aggressive patients.
