 A
man found Bailey in the Ocala National Forest, where he apparently had been abandoned.
He was blind from severe, untreated glaucoma that caused his eyes to
bulge out, and he couldn't even close one of his eyelids. The vet
estimated he was 4 or 5 years old, and said that it took a long time for
the glaucoma to get so bad. His vision might have saved if he had
received treatment.
After coming here, Bailey promptly had surgery to reduce the swelling
in his eyes. He was still blind, but at least he no longer was in
discomfort from the swelling. He eventually had to have his eyes removed. He did
fine after the surgery and is getting around pretty well. He's active
and curious and likes to explore. He has an ear-splitting bark that he
is famous for, but at least he usually settles down quickly.
