We want to share the story of our dear girl, Goldie. Goldie came to the BARN with her friends Rowan, Guinness, and Paddy, all rescued from a pound where their lives were hanging by a thread. Our immediate concern was for Goldie, who arrived in a truly heartbreaking state. Her coat was matted with dirt, and her ears were so thick with old food and grime that they measured nearly three inches.
That very night, Goldie was taken to see our vet, where she received urgent care for her eyes, which were in a shocking condition. Inverted eyelashes were causing her significant irritation and infection, a painful ordeal for such a gentle soul.
Dr. Jane worked tirelessly to clean the infection and began a medical treatment plan for her eyes. Once she arrived at the shelter, Goldie was offered a nourishing meal and a chance to spend her first night in a warm, cosy bed—something she so desperately needed.
Last Wednesday, Goldie underwent surgery to address her upper eyelashes, allowing them to move away from her eyes. The procedure was successful, and we hold onto hope for her complete recovery.
We invite you to follow Goldie’s journey as she continues to heal. If you feel moved to support her treatment, please consider donating through our PayPal or directly at Rathgael Vets: DONATE HERE
