We are sure you will remember Katie, the girl who was a stray and came to us in such a sorry state, with terrible cherry eye in both eyes and a massive growth on her tummy.
On the 3rd July Katie had an adventure to her wonderful vets. She loves all people, the vet included and is such a very good girl, she has a wonderful happy soul, we of course wanted her pain free and healthy so off she went to have her eye and tummy surgery.
The following photos are not the nicest so be warned!
Katie's eyes and tummy were operated on, and she came home the same day to recover. Here she is the day of surgery
Katie is clearly made of tough stuff because within a day her recovery has been amazing, she's bounced back and is healing wonderfully. We know she has a while until she's totally recovered but Katie needs reminding of this. Just look at her even more beautiful face without those poorly eyes
Katie will needs eye drops twice a day for the foreseeable, but again, she's taking them in her stride. She is just the most perfect patient.
Once the time is right with her seasons Katie will be spayed, we didn't want to delay her eye and tummy surgery waiting for this. We are blown away by how quickly she has recovered.
She looks like a totally different hound, hardly any urine stains anymore due to lots of baths, her paws are recoverying, her tummy is how it should be, and for the first time in a long time her eyes are clear and she can see, most importantly, not in pain.
The tummy lump will be tested and we will update with the results.
Thank you so much to Katie's foster mum who is taking such brilliant care of her as well as the vet who, as you will see below, was fabulous with Katie, not only in their care of her, but such reasonable costs as well.

Keep up with the recovery Katie, you really are a very special, brave girl.
