I am not really sure exactly what your vet explained but I think it is very unlikely the stick actually went into the brain. Typically sticks like the one in the picture are not sharp and the brain is protected by a thick piece of bone. Most like the stick got stuck around the eye and went back pretty far. Also if there are brain damage Dexter would be having neurologic disease. I would recommend contacting your vet again to get a more detailed explanation of what occurred with the stick. It is possible that Dexter has an infection in the other eye not originally affected by the stick. The sinus cavity can affect both eyes and if an infection is present it can affect both eyes. Again I think calling your vet to discuss since they did the procedure is the best option. Hope that helps and Dexter makes a speedy recovery
