PLEASE HELP US!Two of our girls need cataract surgery to restore their sight. We've been quoted $5,500 to $6,000 per girl for both eyes.
This is essential surgery, they are only 2 and 5 years old. Thank you Victoria, Shalini on behalf of Bob, Grainne, Bronwyn, Donna, Brooke, Wendy and Clean Case for kickstarting our fundraiser.

Welcome The Fab 5!
Hi guys! 💕 We're coming for you!
╰⊰✿´ ╰⊰✿´╰⊰✿´╰⊰✿´╰⊰✿´╰⊰✿´
Genie | First Arrival | Silky Terrier | 11yrs | NSW
|
This brand new little lady needs lots of TLC and is soaking it all up in her foster home. She's absolutely delightful and we can't wait to bring her the joy of a loving home that she missed out on for 11 years as a puppy maker. She deserves so much and yet expects so little.
Genie is going in (8/9/20) for a full blood panel, desexing, major dental and mammary tumour removal & chest x-ray. She's also having a scope and flush of her ear canals. The treated infection appears to be gone now but she is left with a classic cobblestone texture and narrowed ear canals from a long term infection. So we need to have a really good look inside just in case. |

Pickup Day
Pickup day for the rest of the family. It was a big day at RSPCA Yagoona. We had a whole team help us collect and harness. The ladies at the shelter even did the paperwork in advance.
Dillon | Silky Terrier | 5yrs | NSW
|
Bursting with energy and playfulness. Dillon is beyond funny with his dancing for attention.
Understandably he was a stress related 'spinner' when in the shelter. He has settled and there is no more tail chasing. And we have to begin teaching him to be a well adjusted pet. He has no manners. No idea what harnesses or walking on leash is. No idea what toys and treats are. And is still wondering where his breeding essentials have gone! 😁 |
Pixie | Silky Terrier | 9yrs | NSW
|
Pixie is a gorgeous girl who is lacking confidence and loves to follow you everywhere for security. We are trying to teach her to be comfortable without having to be stuck to you like glue.
Pixie is so scared she will not eat her dinner if another dog can be seen, we are teaching her that her food is hers and no one needs to fight over food and she is safe to eat dinner around other dogs. Pixie gets quite stressed when taken out of her home, so we are slowly trying to show her the world with baby steps, we do not want her to become too overwhelmed and dump her in the deep end of all the things she has missed out on for her 9yrs Pixie still has dry flaky skin which is slowly resolving itself and needs to put on some weight as well, she is a bit of a skinny girl, we are guessing she was low in the pecking order in the fight for food. |
Ella | Silky Terrier | 5yrs | NSW
|
Ella is a very sweet but confused girl, she has settled in well at her foster carer's home and is navigating herself to everything, she is pretty amazing. She is a bit feisty, is quite happy to try and eat everyone's food. She has little manners and has a small comfort zone, when she is outside of that she will meltdown if you are not paying attention and watching her body language.
We have been spoken with a veterinary opthalmologist who believes Ella will benefit from cataract surgery, being so young and having such advanced cataracts. If Ella does not have surgery she will be at high risk of glaucoma and lens induced uveitis (inflammation inside the eye) and lens luxation. The cost for cataract surgery is high we have an estimate of $5,500 - $6,000 for each girl to have both cataracts removed. The estimate given includes a rescue discount, normally we would be looking at $8000 for each girl to have their eyes done. We're already working on the girl's crate training, a coping skill they will need to use in recovery. Obviously you can't just bring an eye surgery dog home and let them run loose. You also can't just expect them to be fine being crated without proper preparation. They need to be able to stay calm when confined. They will need lots of quiet recovery time in their crates, eye meds, protective cones, dim lighting and gentle harnessed trips for loo breaks. As well as follow-up appointments and checkups. Huge thank you to Victoria for donating Ella's cataract removal fund. |
Lucille | Silky Terrier | 2yrs | NSW
|
Update coming soon. Lucille is blind. 😢 We're waiting to have a long chat with her specialist because we've got a tonne of questions.

Update | Genie's Vet Visit
The matriarch of the Fab 5. 11 years young. 🥰
Genie is almost 100% likely to be Mum and Grandma to our other 4.
She is a kind and gentle lady. Her favourite thing is to enjoy the comfort and safety of her foster home.
Her vetwork list is long, and she spent 2.5hrs under. Desexing. Mammary strip to remove tumours. Dental and numerous extractions of rotten teeth. Chest x-ray. Ear flush. Full comprehensive blood panel which came back clear. Full examination from top to toe. Pain relief, antibiotics and heart medication.
Viewing her x-ray, Genie's vet Dr Shelton saw no metastases in her organs but did find an enlarged heart to match her murmur and faint arrhythmia. He has prescribed Cardisure and we'll recheck in a fortnight.
Genie appears to be slightly deaf.
Genie's new home will ideally be experienced with heart problem dogs. Despite the extra needs and expense we believe her forever home is out there.
Please watch the website for updates and we'll let you know when she's ready.
We put a call out to help cover her vet bill and would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to donors.
