A couple weeks ago, Sadie started to show swelling in one of her eyes. She went downhill quickly from there, and by that evening she was lethargic and feverish. At her appointment a few days later, the vet confirmed significant damage to her eye and prescribed antibiotics along with pain medication and ocular repair gel. The infection cleared, but her eye worsened over the next week. Three days ago she managed to get her back leg around her cone and scratched her eye, and the next day I took her into the vet where they confirmed that it was ruptured. She's currently heavily medicated while we wait to schedule the surgery, which will be complicated due to a heart murmur. At this point we don't know the severity of the heart murmur. This came at the worst possible time for me, as I'm still trying to catch up financially after a slew of recent expenses. Any contribution is appreciated; Sadie has been my whole world for 11 years.
