Holly met our vet this morning and what can I say but it is the most wonderful start to 2009 that Holly could have.
Mark has put her age at 7-8 instead of 10 which is great news. My other Cocker Ben is around 7-8 so hopefully now they'll have many years of companionship.
She does need some dental work but Mark doesn't think he'll need to remove more than maybe 4 teeth. Her ears aren't too bad. A good clean out and drops will clear that up. Her heart is also good and strong.
He thinks she has had pups at some point and has only recently been in season, so we'll look into getting her spayed in a few months.
The best news, that had me in tears, was that one of her cataracts is beginning to break up so she **may** get a very small amount of sight back. I'm not going to get my hopes too high, but WOW, that would be amazing for her
Members of NESSR and Cockers online have donated £340 to Holly's fund at NESSR so far. I thank you wonderful people from the bottom of my heart. And of course, eternal thanks to Rhy and Cynthia for being there for her when she so desperately needed them xx
