***URGENT*** ***Donations For Jack***
As per a previous post, Mr. Jacks’s foster reached out last Sunday to say that they had noted his left eye was a bit off on Saturday.
In asking for a pic, I was concerned re: possible uveitis, and an appointment was made for him to be seen on Monday.
Per the Vet that saw him, his pressures were higher than they would expect for uveitis and diagnosed with glaucoma.
Per my previous post, this was very distressing to read as with each of The Three’s Company pups, their eyes have been checked three times.
Jack’s eyes were even checked before his neuter on the 16th of August. They were always given a thumbs up, for if there were any issues, we would have had them removed at the time the Aussies were altered.
So this was so shocking to hear that less than a week after his neuter, he had an eye issue.
I was concerned re: secondary glaucoma due to injury as he was very dysphoric when he woke up post-op from his neuter, yet, it was his tongue/muzzle that took a bump, not his eye on that side.
His eyes were fine.
Regardless of the underlying cause – the vet on Monday felt possible growth, glaucoma is brutally painful, and the left eye needs to be removed & immediately.
As the vet I work with that does enucleations is retiring Saturday, I reached out to the mixed practise I worked at before LAH to see if they could urgently accommodate.
Jack is now scheduled for his left eye enucleation at Eagleson Veterinary Clinic tomorrow @ 7:00 AM. So grateful to them!!
We are now in desperate need of a deposit to be able to put down as a good-faith gesture.
We indeed would be deeply grateful for anything….
Donations to his emergency surgery can be made via PayPal to gwen@birchhaven.org

Rescue is 24/7 & I have worked hard these past few days to get this urgent surgery set up.
Thank you from our hearts for any consideration to his cause. Even $5 is not too little!
Mr. Jack, your special announcement will have to wait a bit longer, my handsome dude!
