This gorgeous girl is Janie 🩷🐶
A 6-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with the sweetest soul and the BEST manners in town. Seriously… if there was an award for “most polite patient,” Janie would already have a trophy cabinet.
Janie first visited us back in January 2025 shortly after being adopted by her wonderful owners. Sadly, not long after finding her new home, Janie was attacked by another dog while out on a walk.
Unfortunately, the injuries to her left eye were too severe to save and Dr Charlotte performed an enucleation surgery (eye removal) on little Janie. ❤️🩹
The amazing part? Janie absolutely smashed recovery. ✨
Dogs adapt incredibly well to having one eye, and Janie proved that perfectly! Healing beautifully, bouncing back quickly, and continuing life like the happy little queen she is. 👑
Fast forward to this week, Janie’s very attentive pawrents noticed she was squinting her eye and brought her straight in to see her favourite vet, Dr. Charlotte. (the feeling is definitely mutual on this one)☺️
Dr. Charlotte performed a health check and then eye exam including:
🔹Eye drops - specifically numbing eye drops used to relief discomfort during eye exams or on painful eyes. (ulcers are quite painful 😣)
🔹 Ophthalmoscope — used to assess the retina (back of the eye)
🔹 Fluorescein stain — a bright stain used to highlight ulcers or scratches on the surface of the eye
Sure enough, Janie had a small ulcer. Luckily it was caught early and treated with medication before becoming something much more serious. 🩺
After plenty of cuddles (strictly medical, obviously), Janie also received a very stern lecture from her nurse about protecting her very important eye!
Through every consult, surgery, and recovery, Janie continues to be one of the happiest, kindest and most eager-to-please pups we’ve ever met!

DID YOU KNOW? (Eye edition)
Eyes are a very important organ, any signs like squinting, redness, discharge, or rubbing should always be checked ASAP, ideally never later than 48 hours post noticed symptoms! If you can’t get into you GP local vets within 48 hours, a trip to emergency maybe advised!
