3338. Extensive eye ulceration in an old Chihuahua

The lady with the blond hair had several adopted dogs including this Chihuahua. "With blond hair, I need not go for monthly hair dyeing as the grey hairs do not show so clearly," this Grab taxi driver told me. Her friend had a mixture of blond and gold brown hair.

The Chihuahua had such an itchy eyeball rubbing his left eye on the bedside, despite an e-collar. "I researched the internet that eyeball removal is the best solution," she had been consulting the eye specialist for the past 2 years but the dog's eye condition did not improve.
