Help Service Dog Battle Horners Syndrome

Donation protected
DeMilo Happily Playing 
Canine Companions for Independence 

My sweet Service Dog from Canine Companions for Independence (www.cci.org) has been diagnosed with Horner's Syndrome.

Horner's syndrome is a condition that can occur in dogs, and especially Golden Retrievers (DeMilo is a Golden Lab, half  yellow lab, half Golden Retriever). The symptoms generally include a sunken appearance to the eye (enophthalmia) small pupil (miosis), droopy upper eyelid (ptosis), and a prominent third eyelid. 

According to his opthalmologist, at Northwest Animal Eye Specialists, "Horner's Syndrome is an intriguing and complex disorder than can be difficult to understand." 

It is a nuerological condition related to nerves around the eye and is  usually a symptom of a larger issue, so we will need to pay for additional chest and neck X-Rays at an MRI to rule out any potential causes like cancer, which is why we are humbly asking for donations as his consultation with the opthalmologist alone was $400.

We realize with Coronavirus forcing so many that we know and love out of work will make monetary donations difficult. We completely understand and appreciate your love and support nonetheless.

Thank you and be sure to check out the Canine Companions for Independence website to learn more about these amazingly wonderful dogs whose mission I am blessed by every day. 

Much love to all of the amazing animals out there who make our lives richer just by being in them! ❤️
