This lovely sweet fun little eskie girl arrived into Maryland from California on July 17th. Spirit is full of life and brings so much joy. She is wonderful with all other creatures and loves to cuddle, cuddle, cuddle. She gets around very well even though she is seeing impaired. She is a very happy little girl and does not have any idea that she is impaired in any way. She snuggles up with Scooby on my bed and he makes sure she is safe during the night. I'll be taking her to the ophthalmologist for a proper diagnosis soon. A very special person will want to bring this little doll into their home. If that is you please e-mail me Heidi@eskierescuers.org I have uploaded a short clip of Spirit and Scooby playing. Enjoy! Diagnoses from ophthalmologist on 7/28/15: Bilateral ocular dysgenesis: microphthalmos, cataracts, ectopic pupils; retinal dysplasia left eye; posterior synechia left eye; bilateral iris stromal atrophy. "Her vision should be close to normal in left eye. The cataracts are insignificant at this time but there is potential for the cataracts to worsen. The left eye would not be a candidate for surgery but the right eye could be operated if vision were threatened. If surgery is not an option and the cataracts are progressing I recommend longterm treatment with topical antiinflammatory drops."
