Unfortunately, after Nina’s recent check-up, her foster mom noticed that Nina’s eye seemed irritated and red. She quickly brought Nina back to the Animal League. Nina was prescribed medication for what was thought to be an infection, however, after her eye showed no improvement, she was brought back for another check-up. It was determined that Nina had an ulcer on her eye. Ultimately, it was decided that it was best to remove Nina’s eye to help alleviate the pressure and discomfort she was experiencing. Fortunately, she hasn’t let this recent discomfort affect her appetite or friendly attitude. The good news is that Nina had her eye removed and the surgery went well. The next day Nina’s family said that right away she was doing well. We hope for a happy and healthy recovery for our precious Nina!

Nina’s health has been right on target and she has been eating well as usual. She has learned to control her bladder with practice so there haven’t been any accidents in the house lately. Nina has learned to let her family know when she needs to go out to the yard in a very special way. She stands on her hind legs and wiggles around as if she is dancing. Her family knows when Nina starts her boogie to let her out in the yard. Even though she has lost her sight she darts over to her favorite spots in the yard before running back into the house for a quick bite and a nap.

Nina’s adoptive family is happy to report that their beautiful pooch has been feeling just swell. Spring is in the air and while Nina has lost her sight, she definitely has not lost her curiosity for the new sounds and smells. Because Nina is unable to see the birds outside you’ll often find her with her ears perked up as she listens to their chirps when the windows are open. It is quite a sight to see as she tilts her head in wonderment as if to ask where these noisy creatures are.
