Daisy has just arrived, thanks to Sanctuary at Haafsville volunteer Jann! She is a tad timid, but sweet and interested in sniffing all the smells here! Her eye looks like maybe her 3rd eyelid is infected, but she has an appointment with the vet to have it checked.
Thanks to Erin Sullivan for stepping right in and giving Daisy an indoor home, perhaps the first she has ever known. Daisy was from a very small family breeding operation. Daisy has had 4 litters in her 5 years, and lived outside in the cold, having been kept in an outdoor pen, Daisy is exhibiting some seperation anxiety symptoms. She is definitely a little velcro dog!
The vet found that both of her eyes are abnormal, but the true cause is not clear. Perhaps older injury or damage that has scarred, and new infection. The eye has several strange things going on, has become vascularized, there is fluid and swelling on the cornea, and several tiny spots can be seen in both eyes. At this point we are not sure if the eye will ever look normal, or how much vision she really has in it.
Daisy has been started on Neopolybac eye ointment 3x a day, and it will be rechecked in 2 weeks. All things considered, she was very good for her exam, and very sweet with everyone she met.
Daisy needs to be spayed ASAP, but after her surgery and once her eye is better, she should make a great pet for someone!
