Despite the fact that today is my birthday, no one has taken the time to wish me a happy one, which makes me down.

We love to receive updates from the families of our patients, but we know that the news can’t always be good. Today, we share a story that touches our hearts deeply. On what was supposed to be a day of celebration, beautiful Nelly sadly passed away during the preparation of this story.

Meeting Nelly

We first met Nelly this time last year. She was referred to our Ophthalmology Service late one evening for acute onset glaucoma. Like in humans, glaucoma is a serious eye condition in which the optic nerve, connecting the eye to the brain, is damaged. It’s usually caused by a buildup of fluid in the eye, increasing the pressure and causing extreme pain. Glaucoma can severely affect vision and cause permanent blindness if it’s not caught and treated early.

Nelly’s Treatment

Our Ophthalmologist, Heidi, removed Nelly’s eye in May last year to prevent further pain and complications to her eye health. Nelly was a brave and resilient dog, enduring her surgery and recovery with remarkable strength. Her loving family supported her every step of the way, ensuring she had a comfortable and joyful life despite her challenges.

A Bittersweet Birthday

On the day we intended to celebrate Nelly’s birthday and share her inspiring journey, we received the heartbreaking news of her passing. Nelly’s family reached out to us, expressing their deep sorrow and sharing how much she meant to them. They described her as a loving, gentle, and courageous companion who brought immense joy to their lives.

Honoring Nelly’s Memory

While we are saddened by Nelly’s passing, we choose to remember the joy and love she shared with her family. Her story is a testament to the strength and resilience of animals and the deep bonds they form with their human companions. Nelly’s bravery in facing her health challenges and the unwavering support of her family are truly inspiring.

A Legacy of Love

Nelly’s life, though cut short, was filled with love and care. Her family’s dedication to her well-being, and their efforts to provide her with the best possible life, are a beautiful example of compassion and devotion. Nelly may no longer be with us, but her spirit and the love she gave will always be remembered.

A Heartfelt Goodbye

On her birthday, we honor Nelly’s memory and celebrate the life of a wonderful dog who touched the hearts of many. We extend our deepest condolences to her family during this difficult time. Nelly will always be remembered as a brave and beautiful soul who brought joy and love to those around her.

Rest in peace, sweet Nelly. Your legacy of love and courage will live on in the hearts of all who knew you.
