Kitten with severe eye infection: Can its eye be saved or removed?

Question

Hi, I have rescued this kitten from the street and it has a severe eye infection. can here eye be saved or do I need to get it surgically removed?

Poor baby! It looks likes she might have a ruptured corneal ulcer so she needs to be examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible. It is difficult to determine if the eye can be treated based on just the picture but there is a chance she will not be visual in that eye and enucleation may be the best choice. Please call a vet and schedule an appointment.
