Rumpole is a 14-year-old Chihuahua Mix in Mount Holly, NJ, who needs $2,000 for Ophtho Enucleation OD.

Rumpole is diabetic and has cataract in his eyes. I rescued him from my mom when she couldn't care for him. He is still active and playful. I had him since 2017. It was in 2019, he was diagnosed with diabetes. This also resulted getting cataracts in his eyes.

He is a spoiled dog. Very brave when given his insulin and other medications. He gets along with everyone, even the cat! His daily routine is eat, sleep and walk. Although he has medical conditions, he doesn't show it.

Rumpole just has a goofy personality. Especially the eyes. His full name is Horace Rumpole, after the fictional British lawyer books and TV show back in the early 80's. I get a laugh when he is asleep and rolls on his back. He is very serious about walks and has to sniff everything and leave his calling card. Though blind, he very alert when on the walks.

Myself and the vet, think that Rumpoles right eye was poked by something. His eye has a tear across. This could have happened in my backyard when I let him out when it was dark. The eye got seriously infected and I took him to Mount Laurel Animal Hopsital and seen by Dr. Enders. Overall not good, he recommends surgery to remove the eye.

The operation cost is $3,170.50. As much as I want this done, the cost is alot for us, especially since my other appointments with Rumpole are also expensive. He is not in pain or discomfort. I don't want to give him up or as a last resort, econmic euthanize.
