Clifford, the big, brown, happy dog!

 

Clifford, a 2-year-old Retriever pup, is now ready to find his forever home!


When Clifford was brought to the San Antonio Humane Society (SAHS) a month ago, we noticed something was wrong his left eye. The globe was blue indicating inflammation, and the white part around the eye was irritated and red.

SAHS veterinarians began treating him with antibiotic drops and even made autologous eye serum drops by taking a blood sample from Clifford, spinning it down so that it would separate into the serum and red blood cells and applying the serum to the eye. Many times when animals have infections or ulcers in their eyes, our medical team can use this serum trick to help with the healing process. Unfortunately, his eye was not improving and still appeared painful, so they decided to remove the eye to prevent further health risks.

Despite all of his pain, Clifford remained his happy self.


“Clifford woke up from surgery like he never even had a major procedure,” SAHS Associate Veterinarian Dr. Leslie Hopes said. “He has been a joy to have as a patient and is doing great with his recovery. His little stub tail is always wiggling.”

Clifford’s stitches were recently removed, and he is hyper as can be. It’s as if he doesn’t care that he now has one eye. In fact, he looks happier without it. His big, beautiful smile is proof of that!

This gorgeous boy is now ready to find his new home. He does the cutest jumps and is always ready to play or go for a walk. He is super friendly and loves belly rubs!
