Blind

Shani took Emmi's siblings Eva and Einstein to Dr Goodhead in October 2009 and while Eva was thankfully fine, Einstein had cataracts in both eyes. Einstein had an operation to remove the Cataracts in November 2008, but I believe that he had a lot of problems with subsequent infections. The above picture is an advert for Vongershan featuring Einstein which was featured in Animaltalk in December 2008, which I found a bit strange!

Dr Goodhead confirmed that Emmi had very bad Congenital Cataracts in both eyes, and told me that she would be completely blind very soon. A lens replacement operation was possible, but would cost over R10,000.00 and infection was always a possibility.

I let Shani know and asked if she would consider refunding me what I had paid for Emmi to help fund the operation, instead of giving me another puppy. She declined, but still said that she would give me another pup.
