Please contribute to cover this little sweet girls opthalmology treatment. Miss Kitty has an ulcerated cornea that has been treated for a week but was not improving and remained painful. Today a veterinary eye specialist consultation and procedure was done. The cost that had to be paid upfront was $525. (This does not include last weeks general practice veterinary exam/treatment /meds.) The specialist waived todays consultation fee, (Thanks Eye Care for Animals, North Scottsdale! ) so the fee includes todays comprehensive exam and consultation, debridement of the ulcer (will spare you the details), medications and ALL follow-up exams. MISS KITTY did not have an easy life before she was rescued by Chiquita Chihuahua. This 15 year old spent over a month in the Pinal County shelter while her previous owners court case for animal hoarding was pending. Kitty spent the first week here at the Rancho hiding under chairs and did not want to be touched. The initial veterinary exam by Dr. Kirsten Young revealed a whopping dental infection involving her jaw bone. Primary treatment included antibiotics for 2 weeks, then an extreme dental surgery...so now she has 4 teeth - thats it. She also has several mammary tumors, but these do not have the characteristics of a malignancy. With time and patience, Miss Kittys personality has blossomed and although she is sometimes cranky towards the other dogs, she is a complete sweetheart who now seeks out affection from people. She proudly prances on her way over for some loving. With high quality food, she has become quite beautiful, and has awesome butterfly ears, characteristic for Papillions. The first 2 pics are from today, and she is very uncomfortable after the procedure. She will be on pain meds for 3 days, and antibiotics for 2 weeks. Please consider supporting the life saving work of Chiquita Chihuahua Rescue....EVERY contribution counts..... and any donation is greatly appreciated.
