Dharma Updates

raising funds for kenzies eye

Five-month-old Kenzie was in a city shelter. Animal control had picked her up from the streets. She was thin, had 2 big cherry eyes, and had a severe case of demodex mange. She needed to get out of the shelter before she would be euthanized.
You can only guess what kind of life she was living in her 5 months on this earth. In April we were sent a picture and asked if we could take her, we had to say yes. Once she was in our care, her healing journey started. Before she even came home to the Dharma Rescue she had an appointment with the vet. Kenzie had an exam, skin scraping and bloodwork done, when we got the results we were told we could not have a cherry eye surgery until she was healthy. 
It has now been 3 months and my Kenzie is a happy, bouncy mastiff puppy weighing 60+ pounds! Yes, she is a big girl!
Our vet had her on eye meds because there seemed to be a white spot behind her left cherry eye. We already had the estimate done for her cherry eye surgery, which came out to $1700.
When we took her back for another examination, since she was healthy enough at that point, our vet looked very concerned because the ulcer in her eye did not heal, but was in fact raised more. The vet said he needed to take a culture.
A few days later the results came back and we learned Kenzie had 3 nasty different types of bacteria on that eye which is why the raised spot didn't heal properly. She is now on antibiotics, one for each bacteria. We now must wait for a couple weeks to see it the meds work. Overall, that bill was $600...
 Can you imagine what life is like when you are born only able to see through the side of your eyes? You cannot see straight ahead.
How exciting it will be to watch her see all the world in front of her.❤️ Kenzie has some behavioral issues which are probably because of her handicap, however we are in the process of helping and training her.
