Gorgeous Yvonne Burke – beautiful tzu girl with two erupting absesses!
YUK!! That’s all I can say. This little sweetie has been waiting at the shelter for us to have a spot open for weeks. We finally were able to pick her up last week. The day we got her in, we were doing a fundraising photoshoot at our vet’s office, Stafford Oaks Veterinary Hospital, so took this cute picture of her. We noticed that she had a lot of eye discharge caked underneath both eyes, but really didn’t think anything of it. A lot of these shelter dogs come in eye infections so we just thought that when she was groomed and got some eye ointment, she would be fine.
Imagine my surprise when Dr. Parker called Monday to tell me that Yvonne had two teeth so badly infected that the absess had erupted through the top of her jaw.
In addition to that, she had a huge (2.5 inches long and 1.5 inches wide) lipoma (benign fatty tumor), that had to be removed from her neck. Thankfully nothing to worry about.
All is fixed, but, of course this extra surgery cost a pretty penny. We need to raise about $405 for her.
