Ophthamologist info: Both eyes microphthalmic, diagnosis congenital ocular anomalies OU with sequelae OU. Last appt was 5/10/2010, chronic mucoidal discharge from left eye, right eye stable and comfortable with normal intraocular pressure and no acitve uveitis. Recommended enucleation for left eye as non-visual and causing her some level of discomfort. Owner to consult office regarding procedure and revisit in one year for check up, or earlier for surgery.

Owner Info: Hailey was adopted from local animal shelter, her new owners were told she was blind in one eye. They quickly realised she was blind in both. She has walked into their pool several times. They are now in process of moving to an apartment whilst building a house, have had a baby and feel they cannot properly care for Hailey. They refuse to take her back to the shelter and would like to find somewhere locally for her if possible. Vet Ophthalmologist said her eye condition was probably genetic. She has no problems with her eyes but her owner puts distilled water in them daily. Hailey is an inside dog with the run of the house, she is housebroken and leash trained. She can be a little shy at times, she's a very quiet girl who sleeps a lot. She's good with people of all ages and dogs, cats and other small animals. She is crated at night and knows how to use a doggy door. Her owner feels she would do best in a quiet home, maybe with another dog for company or with someone who is home a lot. She is very healthy, sweet girl.
