Honey the Chihuahua’s life improves with help from Fur Kids Foundation

This beauty is Honey, a 14-year-old Chihuahua. Recently, Honey's mom changed jobs, leading to a dip in income. Amidst adjusting budgets, Honey developed an eye infection. Her mom watched the infection, which didn’t improve, so her mom took her to the vet. 

Symptoms Of Eye Infections In Dogs
What follows is a broad list of the some common signs that can occur in dogs with eye infections. If you notice any of these symptoms in your dog, make an appointment with your vet. This way your dog can be properly diagnosed and treated for the condition that is causing their discomfort:

• Changes in the eye’s appearance
• Discharge coming from the eye (this could be yellow or green looking)
• Eye puffy, swollen shut or mild swelling around the eye
• Excessive blinking
• Light sensitivity
• Pawing, rubbing or itching at the eyes
• Pink or red looking eye
• Signs of pain
• Squinting
• Sudden poor vision

Honey's mom knew she couldn't cover the vet bill, so she applied with Fur Kids Foundation for help, which we were able to provide thanks to our amazing supporters. During the vet visit, it was clear that Honey was dealing with several eye issues and diseases. After discussing all the treatment plans, it was agreed that eye removal was the best for Honey. Remarkably, Honey is adapting admirably to her altered sight.

Eye infections in your pup can be a scary thing to deal with, however, it is best for veterinarians to diagnose and help you treat these conditions. If your pup is facing a medical emergency with their eyes, get them into the vet as soon as possible.
