Vet Info: Hero's contact
writes, "Hero is healthy and energetic besides his eye problems. Hero
does not have a current heartworm test and he is not neutered, but he will be
tested and neutered as of the 30th of August.... Unknown inciting trauma
but seen at local ER and diagnosed perforated cornea of the right eye and
severe ulcer in the left. Former owner treated ulcer of the left eye for 2.5
weeks with aggressive medical therapy but did not improve and only worsened.
Owners could not afford ophthalmologist and elected to euthanize. He had an
enucleation procedure on 10 AUG 2016 and is pending second enucleation
procedure given the poor prognosis of the ulcer in his remaining eye."
Hero weighs about 20 pounds.
Owner Info: Hero is an
adorable and sweet little fellow whose owners elected to euthanize when they
found out he needed to have his second eye removed. Rather than
euthanizing, the owners agreed to surrender him to a veterinarian, and the
veterinarian is now trying to find him rescue!
Hero is an indoor dog with run of the
house, he is housebroken and leash trained. Hero is described as
"outgoing", and he's a very friendly fellow! He's good with
people of all ages, male and female dogs, and cats! Hero is not
possessive of toys, treats, or food, and has never shown any aggression.
Hero's contact is not sure how he'll
adapt to new situations despite his visual impairment. She writes, "Unknown,
full blindness is new and a result of a second surgery on Aug 30, 2016 to
remove the remaining eye."
Hero is very sweet and friendly and
his contact wants us to know what a special fellow he is! "He's
an energetic young pup who can absolutely have a long and happy life if he only
has the right family to guide him."
