Reveille X has eye removed after glaucoma diagnosis, Texas A&M says

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - First Lady of Aggieland Reveille X was recently diagnosed with glaucoma and had surgery on Wednesday morning. During surgery, veterinarians at the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital decided removing one of her eyes was necessary.

Texas A&M University President Mark Welsh shared the news on Wednesday afternoon.

“Under the watchful eye of her Mascot Corporals, it came to our attention that Miss Rev has been experiencing some discomfort and cloudiness in her right eye,” Welsh said in a statement.

He continues on to say Miss Rev’s discomfort progressed, leading to her glaucoma diagnosis.

She was sent into surgery on Wednesday morning to relieve discomfort and during surgery, the A&M vet team reportedly found signs of abnormal tissue. Her eye was removed to be on the safe side. The tissue was sent to an ocular pathologist for evaluation, which is standard practice according to Welsh.

“I’m grateful to report that Miss Rev has come through the surgery successfully, has been discharged and is resting comfortably. Our priority is her health and well-being, and we are blessed to have access to the remarkably talented and caring Texas A&M veterinary team who will continue to monitor Miss Rev on her road to recovery,” the statement continued.

Miss Rev will be on a “brief hiatus” while she recovers. But her veterinary team expects her to return to all her favorite activities without issue this fall.

Feel better, Miss Rev!
