Name: Fiona
Sex: Female (not altered)Breed: Terrier mix
Age: 3-4 months
Location: Ray, MI
Vet Info: Fiona was given a physical exam and eye stain test. She was prescribed eye drops which are a combination steriod/antibiotic, to be given 2x/day for a week, however, they are unsure if her sight will come back. Fiona weighs 17.2 pounds, and they thought she was about four months old. Fiona was ataxic. No vaccines were given.
Owner Info: Fiona's owner's boyfriend is a firefighter for the city of Detroit. Thursday morning he responded to a routine house fire in a vacant home on Detroit's east side. The house was almost completely engulfed in flames and smoke. When they got the fire under control and some of the smoke cleared they found a puppy in one of the only rooms that had not caught on fire. The puppy was unconscious, but they brought her out of the house and successfully revived her. To everyone's surprise, her boyfriend came home from work that morning holding the most precious little puppy. She was having problems standing and walking, so the owner immediately brought her to the vet. She thought that maybe one of the guys accidentally stepped on her when fighting the fire, however, the vet informed her that she was having trouble seeing and is most likely completely blind. The blindness could possibly be from lack of oxygen due to the fire. They are unable to keep her due to conflicts with their other rescued dog (that dog is not good with other dogs). Fiona is kept crated and they believe she is housebroken. She is not possessive with toys, treats, or food, and has never shown any aggression. In the short time they have had her, Fiona has adapted very well.
Fiona should be considered very urgent, and needs to find a new home quickly as they can only hold onto her for a few days.
