Gigi is a 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier in Cardiff by the sea, CA, who needs $1,600 for Reattachment of the Third Eyelid.

Gig was left behind when my sister experienced a dual brain aneurism caused from the Covid vaccine. Gigi was shuffled from place to place awaiting my sisters recovery. I traveled to Iowa in hopes of providing care for my sister when Gigi was brought back home. Once it became clear my sister would need constant medical attention Gigi and I had bonded and there was no way I could leave her.

Gigi has a small cherry eye, I noticed when I kept the surrounding hair clean it would clear up. I was bathing her washing the area when Gigi pulled away and let out yelp. The wash cloth must have grabbed the hair tearing the third eyelid causing it to swell now covering most of the eye. She needs surgery to re-attach the lid via Surgipet located in Carlsbad,Ca.

The 1st night Gigi & I met she was brought home by a neighbor expecting my sister to be there she sat @ the door. Around 11pm she scratched at the door so I let her out to go potty, she was sprayed by a skunk. I spent the entire night bathing her until she could open her eyes & the smell went away. She’s never left my side since. We traveled together from Iowa to Ca. Camping & bonding the entire.

I’m in the middle of disputing the denial of my temp disability benefits. My son was recently diagnosed with a vascular necrosis and is scheduled for a hip replacement tomorrow. I have no transportation and have been walking 3 miles to and from the hospital with Gigi.
