24 hour vet care for 3 weeks, Eye removal, antibiotics
Sweet and wonderful Vinnie was rescued from a kill shelter in Florida. He was found as a stray and sat at Animal Control for one week without any medical attention, pain meds or antibiotics until we rescued him and took him directly to a vet. It appears Vinnie had his face slashed by a knife, machete or some other thin and sharp object. Due to lack of medical attention from the shelter, Vinnie now has to have his eye removed. Per the vet, he had to be in incredible pain while sitting in the shelter for a week but that didn't seem to matter to the staff. They never took him to one of their 2 full time vets. There was a chance to save his eye had they treated him immediately or, at the very least, gave him pain medication and antibiotics. Vinnie was sent to an opthamologist for a second opinion and the doctor agreed. The sad part is that Vinnie is the sweetest and most docile dog and the vet said he probably just sat there looking up at his abuser and was just smacked in the face! This is horrendous and it just breaks our heart. Everyone that's met this little guy falls instantly in love with him. Vinnie's bills are quickly piling up and he hasn't even had his surgery yet. Can you please help Vinnie?
