Mamie was transferred from a shelter as an unclaimed stray. This sweet senior is fully blind and now, out of the shelter, is relieved to be safe in a loving foster home.
Mamie is quite daring in her approach to navigation – her motto is “dive right in!” She is getting to know her new surroundings, including the resident animals. So far, she can’t decide what her favourite spot is – her fluffy bed or sun tanning on the grass.
Her initial vet visit determined Mamie has arthritis and desperately needs some dental work. Her eyes were also in rough shape it was likely that removing both would be necessary. We were not prepared how soon, however, as within only a few days of being in her foster home, Mamie was rushed to the ER because one of her eyes was bleeding significantly. An enucleation was performed on that eye and unfortunately, the vet didn’t recommend continuing with the removal of the other eye, as Mamie lost a lot of blood. Understandably, Mamie was out of sorts after surgery, but she is happy to be recovering in the comfort of her foster home. ❤
Mamie has only been in our care for a short time, but her bills have already amounted to over $6000. To help raise funds to cover the cost of Mamie’s care, we have a big auction coming and we will share the information soon.
Mamie is being fostered in Halifax, NS and is not yet ready to be considered for adoption.
