Introduction Removal of eye is indicated in animals in such cases when it has reached a point where it has no chance of being capable of return of sight and it is very painful to the patient (Mitchell, 2008). Trauma to the eye such as an infected scratch injury or puncture to the eye by fighting with other animal or hitting of the eye with sharp object), tumors of the eye, glaucoma (increased pressure inside the eye) are considered to be most common causes for creation of a painful, blinded eye (Gilger et al., 1995).
