This is my rescued nine week old Boston Terrier Opie. He was 2 weeks old when a child opened his eyes too early which caused him to get ulcers and lead him to become blind. For any of you who have met him, you know he is the cuddliest, swetest love bug in the world.
Opie is my 2 year old French bulldogs best friend. He follows Rocco by the jingle of his ID tags to get around our house. Before we brough Opie into our home Rocco was showing slight signs of agrresion. Every time our cat would come around his food bowl, he would run from accross the room to get him away form it. Since Opie has been here Rocco hasn’t had a care in the world, he is intently focused on Opie. I’ve never seen this side of Rocco, being so sweet.
Opie will need a complete eye removal surgery (Enucleation). When we rescued him we were told the eyes would be fine and were not painful but he would remain blind. Luckily we have learned more about his condition and found out he is in a ton of pain. We never would have known because this puppy is so so so happy.
Enucleation will cost $500+ vet care after. Right now my family does not have a way to pay for this surgery. We are doing everything possible to raise this money. I have made a paypal donate account just for Opies care through all of this. I don’t expect anything but if you could share Opies story maybe we can make him more comfortable.
I will be updating on Opie on my page daily. He really is a little miracle and I’m so excited for him to feel better, thank you.
If you can’t help out financially, I would love it if you could reblog this so more people can see it and try to help Opie out! Much love! Thank you <3
Please donate if you can, It will be greatly appreciated.
d’awww
poor boston terrier
oh my god it’s so cute and sad
this is napoleon! he has an ulcer too. but his has only acted up one time in 3 years. you say your dog seems happy and you would have never known, so why put him thru surgery if he is happy and fine, id wait till it bothers him. sometimes vets try to push surgeries that are unnecessary. my vet said its fine unless it acted up repeatedly and it hasn’t…. he’s a cutie btw. and i understand your want to fix this, but at least consider if he really needs it . i speak from expeirence
Opies eyes ulcerate to the point of rupture. He is also 100% blind and the ulcers are causing him an immense amount of pain so why keep the eyes if they are going to continue to cause problems. The blood vessels also rupture from all the pressure built up behind them. I can’t imagine being in a constant state of pain. Migraines are the worst and that is exactly what he is going through. He needs this surgery to live a happy life. Thank you.
i say def do it then, i just was concerned for the little guy when you said he seemed happy and you would have never known. yeah napo is blind 100% in that one eye, luckily thats the only issue and i hope that i never have to have his eye removed but if i do, i will def do it! I’m glad you are taking the initiative to do it! best of luck for a fast recovery and he’s def in great hands! don’t let any haters you get off this even bother you, there are always going to be scam artists out there, if theyre to blind to see this is not a scam then they need to get THEIR eyes fixed too lol. he’s a cutie ! enjoy him. bt’s are like potato chips tho, you can never just have one. hehehehe
