THESE DOG DAYS
A resource for disabled dogs and their owners
2/24/2018 2 Comments DaisyThis is Daisy, the eight year old Basset Hound from Anaheim, USA. Daisy is completely blind. She had glaucoma is both of her eyes and had to have a double enucleation. This is fairly common in Bassets. She had her surgery in April of 2017.
Daisy is a Bassethound Rescue of Southern California Alumni that Alex fostered initially and eventually realised they'd both found their new family. BHRSC brought Daisy to CA in a hound haul. A hound haul is where the rescue goes to other states and pulls bassets from over-crowed shelters where there are too many hounds and not enough adopters. They took her in, knowing the amount of medical attention she would need, brought her out to California and had the surgery done. The rescue spent thousands on her care and now Alex uses Daisy's Instagram page to bring awareness for blind dogs and the work the rescue does. Alex continues to foster and on her page you will see her, their rescue bully Dooney and various other foster dogs. Could you describe a regular day with Daisy?
