Meet Hermes, a sweet 1½-year-old deaf Dalmatian who recently got a new lease on lifeâand visionâthanks to his foster family's care and a successful entropion surgery!
When Hermes was brought into the ER for an intestinal blockage (he swallowed a rock! đŹ), the team also noticed something alarming: he had a severe case of entropion, a painful condition where the eyelids roll inward, causing the lashes to rub against the cornea. Left untreated, it could have led to permanent vision loss.
With his life on the line, the intestinal surgery had to come first. But his foster family feared the worstâwould their deaf pup also go blind?
Thatâs when compassion stepped in. Thanks to the incredible support from SAGE Compassion for Animals, Hermes was able to receive the ophthalmic surgery he desperately needed, and the procedure, performed by Dr. Mughannam at Veterinary Vision, was a success! Hermes is doing great and has made a full recovery!
With your continued support, Sage Compassion for Animals can keep doing the important work of helping pets stay healthy, happy, and right where they belongâat home with the families who love them.
