An update now on a Chihuahua injured during a visit to an animal hospital.

A veterinarian is accused of hitting the dog, causing one of its eyes to become dislodged.

Today the Chihuahua went to another vet for a diagnosis.

On her first birthday, this five pound pooch received some very good news.

“He thinks that her eyesight will be totally back,” owner Maryann Deluca said.

The tiny Chihuahua made big news after it was injured during a visit for spay surgery on June 4th at the Sun City West animal clinic.

According to investigators, technicians allegedly saw Dr. Joshua Winston strike Bella in the head causing her right eye to pop out. Bella's owner said Dr. Winston called her immediately after the incident.

Dr. Joshua Winston was arrested, but he told us there's a lot more to the story and is confident his name will be cleared.

“During the course of good, standard care things can happen that are hard for someone outside the field to understand,” he said.

Deluca brought Bella to the Eye Care for Animals Clinic in Phoenix.

“She still has to take drops, and we have to see him in three weeks, but otherwise he thinks her eyesight will be totally back!” Deluca said.

She's not angry at Dr. Winston, but for Dr. Winston the ordeal is far from over and he still has to go back to court.

“I have never, ever, ever in my whole life hurt an animal and I have spent 25 years in this profession without a complaint on my license,” he said.

The case will be handled in justice court.
