Cy - Adopted and Teddy - In BDRA Foster Care


Names: Cy and Teddy
Sex: Males (not altered)
Ages: Five weeks (Born 12/4/12)
Breed: Scottish Terriers
Location: Approximately an hour south of Harrisburg, PA

Vet Info: Pups were seen on 12/11, both with swollen eyes and discharge.  Owner stated they were born in the mud outside.  One pup had an abscessed right eye which was "pretty much blown" and an open wound around the eye socket.  He was put on antibiotics, vitamins, and a saline wash.  Owner has not been in for a recheck.  They weigh about one pound.

Owner Info: Cy (first photo) and Teddy (second photo) are very sweet pups who were born outside and according to their owner, got an eye infection. She has taken them to the vet and given them antibiotics, vitamins and washed their eyes with saline. Unfortunately, one puppy (Teddy) lost both eyes and is completely blind, and Cy lost one eye completely but can see out of the other eye. Teddy is very dependent on his brother and she feels it would be nice to place them together, however they can be separated.  She has started them on dog food but is still needing to feed them by bottle all night every couple of hours.  Teddy doesn't move around much and has trouble finding his food, and will cry.  He will eat if placed right over the food, but only for a few minutes, although he seems to be doing better lately. Teddy is very sweet and cuddly and Cy is more outgoing and independent and acts more like a "normal" puppy.  She has had no luck finding them homes because people don't look beyond their eyes.  The pups will have their first set of shots at six weeks.  She loves them very much and desperately wants what's best for the pups.  She is hoping they will find a home where people know how to work with blind dogs.      

UPDATE 1/18/2013: Cy has found a home!!! Teddy has had his first vaccination and is ready to find his forever home - can you help this adorable boy?
