Recovery for Bonnie has started.

Care to Support Bonnie’s Journey to a Pain-Free Life with her GoFund Me?

My beloved rescue dog Bonnie had very little vision and two types of permanent blindness when I fostered and almost immediately adopted her earlier this year. She just turned seven years old and she was probably abused, putting her in this precarious situation. Otherwise, she is healthy. Thinking I had years of drops to give her to keep her little bit of vision, I recently found out that she has none, and the glaucoma and dislocated lenses in both eyes were becoming so high-pressure that the doctor said we were not able to keep up with the pain. I was up to giving her 22 drops a day at three different intervals, plus oral medications just to keep her from being in massive pain, so getting her bilateral enucleation (removal of both eyes) was the only humane thing to do.

Below Snoopy looks out for her in this picture of Bonnie in her new “home” for the next few weeks, which I’ll bring upstairs with me at night so she’s nearby. I probably won’t ever post her direct post-surgical look, but I took pictures to monitor the healing. I’m told she did well and should recover with no issues. It’s emotional for me, particularly after the year I’ve had. I can’t imagine keeping her with the collar on for two whole weeks and separated from her beloved “brother” Snoopy that long, but I will follow all post-op instructions to the letter.
