Loving Eyevy

Becoming a mascot for Khayelitsha-based animal clinic

At just six weeks of age, Eyevy was completely blind in one eye and half her face was deformed. She was admitted to the Mdzananda Animal Clinic in Khayelitsha where her veterinarians believed she’d chewed on a live electrical wire. Unfortunately, Eyevy’s previous owners had left her injury without treatment for too long. An infection had spread to her eye, blinding it completely. The electric shock and infection also caused most of her teeth on one side of her face to fall out, and she only had half her tongue. The skin around her mouth started to die. At Mdzananda, Eyevy’s face was stitched up repeatedly, but each time the skin would die around the stitched area. Finally, after numerous attempts at debriding and stitching, her skin began to heal.
