BLACK LEOPARD - Eye Surgery!

!!! WARNING !!! Contains images of GRAPHIC eye surgery.

Bagheera our oldest black leopard has her eye removed due to the pain associated with her glaucoma, Bagheera is a former pet and was rescued by BCR in 1995.

Bagheera had also been declawed and it was the intention of her owners to keep her as a pet. As usually happens, this plan just didnt work out. When they moved, they had no room for their leopards. How sad that people refuse to think of the long term consequences of impulsive decisions like buying an exotic animal to raise as a pet. It rarely works out for the owners, and definitely not for the animals involved. Though she was bottle fed, she is definitely not tame enough to handle safely.

HERE'S A THOUGHT, HOW ABOUT SEDATE HER AND GIVE HER THE NORMAL AMMOUNT OF EYE DROPS THAT IS NEEDED THEN PUT HER BACK IN HER HOME

[BigCatRescue]

@CC25Y This would need to be done at least twice a day and so would not have been feasible.

[KlareAquaTea]

Ahhh that looks very painful. :/ how is bagheera doing now?

[BigCatRescue]

@KlareAquaTea She made a full recovery from the surgery and was doing well, unfortunately she has passed away since this video was made :(

what a brave kitty cat

@cylaisawesome why am I an idiot? I only suggested something, I didn't know the full circumstances, and I don't follow the black leopard much less any leopard

[cylaisawesome]

@CC25Y You are an idiot.

[thiagokhorus]

praque porra tiraram o olho dela nem pra ela levantar e matar vcs

[CC25Y]

@BigCatRescue oh, I didn't know that, well then yeah I guess this would make sense! That sucks!

[oooraeooo]

@BigCatRescue RIP Bagheera. Our house cat had an eye removed due to a herpes infection, so I thought this was very interesting.
