Raisin and his siblings came to us after there owner threaten to kill them because he didn't want them anymore..these poor dogs are amazing all love no matter what they have been through! Won't you give them a forever home?
Medical update: Raisin and her siblings came with cherry eyes...and after some special eye drops and surgery on one eyes she was posted for adoption. Unfortunally, the surgery didn't take and will be having corrective sugery on 5/31 to repair her chery eye again. The vets say she will recover fully and will be ready for adoption soon! Ive copied a bit about cherry eye below to help explain it a bit more!
Prolapse of the gland of the nictitating membrane or third eyelid, commonly called “cherry eye,” should be treated as quickly as possible. The condition itself is not particularly dangerous to dogs, but treatment is required to reduce the risk of more serious secondary problems.
Cherry eye can be treated with topical antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs and/or through surgery. Topical therapy can help reduce the inflammation and possible infection commonly associated with this condition. However, this course of treatment is rarely successful for long periods of time. If the prolapsed gland of the third eyelid does not resolve with medical treatment, surgical correction is the only viable treatment option.
Surgical correction of cherry eye is typically very successful. Post-operatively, the affected eyes of most dogs will return to full normal function, as long as the gland of the third eyelid is retained. If it is removed, eye drops will be necessary to provide normal lubrication of the eye.
*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
