*** SAFE 01/31/18 *** WATCH HIS VIDEO! One-eyed Rouge is hoping to find a warm home with a warm bed to rest in while he heals @MACC. ROUGE is a 1 year old who was brought in with an injured eye and a possible bite wound above same eye. Needs medical and a home.
MANHATTAN CENTER
Hello, my name is Rouge. My animal id is #18160. I am a male white cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 1 years 2 weeks old. – P
I came into the shelter as a aco impound on 12-Jan-2018.
Original Location: 10456
Rouge is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with an Upper Respiratory Infection, which is contagious to other cats. Rouge arrived at the shelter with a ruptured eye, which was removed. The URI is complicating the healing of this eye, and so Rouge is also on a course of antibiotics to limit further infection. Behaviorally, we suggest that Rouge would be best suited to a cat experienced home.
My medical notes are…

Rouge is an approximately 2 year old male intact domestic shorthair that presented to MACC on 1/12 with trauma to the right eye. It appears consistent with blunt trauma rather than a bite wound. During his initial intake, he bit a medical assistant twice, drawing blood the second time. At this time, Rouge appears neurologically appropriate with no concerns of Rabies. Sincerely, Erika Elmore, DVM, CCRT

Patient placed in left lateral recumbency. Third eyelid excised. Lateral canthotomy not performed due to adhesions to globe and unnecessary for proper exposure. Eyelids excised. Globe appears small and severely thickened with multiple adhesions to surrounding conjunctiva. Conjunctiva and adhesions were debrided. The optic nerve and artery were clamped using curved mosquito hemostat and the globe was excised with curved metzenbaums. The optic artery and nerve were not ligated as it was not necessary to control bleeding. Additional inflamed conjunctiva was also removed. Two layer closure of SQ tissue and intradermal with 3-0 Monocryl in simple continuous pattern. Anesthesia was smooth and recovery was uneventful.
