Prolapse is often found in female dogs that have not been spayed, causing significant discomfort and painful urination. Fortunately, desexing eliminates this problem, and our vet team will undertake this procedure as soon as possible.

Rosie will also need surgery to fix the entropion she suffers from – a condition in which the eyelids turn inwards so that the eyelashes rub against the eyeball constantly. You know how uncomfortable it is when you get an eyelash stuck in your eye? Imagine that, but magnified and in both eyes, all the time.

Our vet team have advised that the treatment Rosie still requires will cost around $2000, in addition to the $2,500 in costs already incurred at the emergency vet clinic.  As a stray with no trace of previous owners, these costs and the responsibility for her care will fall to us.

Rosie reached out to humans in her most desperate hour, and we won’t let her down. She’s still a fairly young dog – our vet team estimates she is just four years old, so she has her whole life ahead of her.

As a charity that relies on the support of our community to care for animals like Rosie, we need your help to make the rest of her life as happy and healthy as we can.

Will you donate to Rosie’s emergency fund to help cover the costs of her treatment, and give her a chance at a better life? 

With the right treatment, and with your support, we are confident Rosie will have a bright future ahead of her. One in which she is free of constant pain and discomfort, living the life she deserves in a safe home with a loving new family.

*The goal for Rosie’s fundraiser includes the cost of pain relief, initial treatment and overnight care at the Animal Emergency Centre, as well as treatment by the RSPCA vet team including desexing, eye surgery, blood tests, post-operative care and rehabilitation. If her medical and care costs are less than is raised in her name, additional funds will provide care for other animals in need.
