From Blackland Prairie Raptor Center
A HUGE thank you to Dr. Kevin S. Donnelly and Dr. Sarah Brattain at Veterinary Eye Institute for examining our burrowing owl patient, 25-0080! These incredible specialists enhance our success in patient releases and provide us with a deeper understanding of eye trauma and treatment plans!
Oh interesting. I would not have expected their eyes and lungs to be controlled by the same muscle.
I don’t believe it is the same muscle, just the same type of muscle. The video and a few other comments I read just made it sound like whatever medicine would relax the eye muscles would also affect critical muscles in other parts of the body.
This is all new info to me too, so don’t take my word as 100% accurate on this particular matter, and even the doctor in the video is probably oversimplifying it for the lady.
