7 year-old, Roxie is an entire bitch who came into the care of the PDWRA a few months ago requiring urgent surgery for a large vaginal prolapse.
It was so severe that the vet was not certain that surgery to repair it would be viable. After much discussion it was agreed that the right decision for Roxie was to try, she deserved a chance.
Roxie had her prolapse surgery the day after arriving with her PDWRA foster carer. The initial surgery went well however, overnight, she prolapsed again. Thankfully, a further operation was successful, and she is now recovering well from that.
That, however, is not the end of poor Roxie’s health concerns. While in foster care it became evident that her eyes and skin are also a cause for concern. She has mild skin atopy and also dry eyes and eye ulcers. The eye ulcers in particular are requiring repeated and costly vet visits and dedicated care from her wonderful Foster Mum.
Many of us know very well, the worry especially about pug’s eyes, and we’ll update you on how she progresses through it all.
