One year ago today, Briggs arrived from a rescue group in Georgia. He was blind and wobbly, and his eyes bulged from runaway glaucoma. They hurt so much he constantly rubbed them with his paws. Before we could do eye surgery to relieve the pain, our vets found he also had a kidney disease … and then they found he also had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. He had never received medical treatment for any of those conditions, and our internal medicine specialist thinks the Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever was the underlying cause of all of Briggs' other problems.
After repeated visits to our vet hospital, surgery, and lots of follow-up medical care, little Briggs became a new dog. Well, except for the fact that he's still blind and yes, wobbly! But what a turnaround in his life. Today he celebrated his one-year anniversary at the ranch by sleeping in and then having his personal groomer, Miss Callie, stop by for a spa session. Alayne got this shot of blind Callie giving him a facial massage this afternoon. You can just see him thinking, "This I could get used to."
