Snowflake has survived a terrible accident, a skull fracture, the loss of one eye, and a cleft palate. To help him eat and breathe, a silicone plug had to be placed in his palate.
A few weeks ago, the only eye he had left was in danger again. He had a deep corneal lesion, inflammation, and an extremely thin cornea. The risk was real: Snowflake could become completely blind.
He needed surgery. The damaged tissue was removed and a graft was placed to save the structure of the eye and prevent perforation.
Today we have good news: his eye is stable. The cornea is closed, sealed, and supported. The eye pressure is good, and there is no active ulcer or immediate risk of perforation.
Snowflake will never have normal vision. He has scarring, a cataract, and internal changes that limit what he can see. But he can still orient himself. And for him, that means everything.
There are still two problems to solve: his persistent ringworm, which needs a dermatology assessment, and the plug in his palate, which must be checked.
Snowflake still needs medication, check-ups, ophthalmology follow-ups, dermatology care, and daily treatment.
Please help us continue caring for Snowflake.
