GG, Alone & Blind Abandoned On Streets

The Story Of GG�

GG was picked up a few days ago by Khun Nok one of Soi Dog�s Animal Rescue Officers while returning to the shelter from a mobile sterilization clinic on the south of Phuket island. Residents in the area where GG had been found told Nok that GG�s owner�s had set GG on the streets due to �his blindness�. They no longer wanted him and GG now had no home. How can anyone be so callous as to dump such a sweet boy on the street, unable to see?

Khun Nok found him bumping into things and when Khun Nok first arrived GG was nearly hit by a car which fortunately swerved at the last minute. He was covered in ticks & fleas, also flea eggs with his coat totally matted.

Khun Nok rushed GG to Soi Dog�s clinic and you could literally sense GG�s sense of relief when he found himself again with human companionship. Our vets immediately set about treating him, removing the severely matted fur and literally dozens of ticks.

GG�s eyes were filled with discharge, sealed shut and obviously seriously infected. The vets spent several hours carefully removing the discharge from his eyes and treating the infection. We aren�t sure yet as to the long term outcome with his vision but hopefully will not be left completely blind.

We will keep you posted on GG�s progress�
