Eevie’s journey to a new life​

Chow Chow Eevie came to us nearly blind and suffering from a life-threatening infection. We were told she had spent much of her life in a boarding facility, possibly her entire life, used only for breeding. When her owner stopped returning calls and left her without care, Eevie was surrendered at our door.

Despite her pain, Eevie never cried out or complained. She sat quietly, withdrawn in the corner of her pen, making it difficult to see just how much she was suffering. Her condition was serious, and it was almost too late by the time we realised the full extent of her health issues.

Eevie’s health was deteriorating in ways no one initially recognised. Her eyes were crusted with mucus, essentially leaving her blind. She suffered from bilateral entropion, a painful condition where the eyelids roll inward, causing constant irritation. Dr. Ros, our veterinarian, describes it vividly: “You couldn’t see her eyeballs properly because her eyelids rolled in so far. This condition can cause damage to the surface of the eyeball, leading to chronic pain and discomfort.”

Then there was her infection — a condition called closed pyometra, where her uterus was dangerously full of pus. “If left untreated, she very likely would have died,” recalls Dr. Ros.

We performed life-saving surgery on Eevie, removing her infected uterus and addressing her painful eye condition. We treated her ear infections, cleaned her teeth, defleaed and wormed her, and provided the full care she had missed out on for so long. Eevie woke up to a new world — one where she could see and live without the pain she had known for most of her life ❤️.
