Skyler needed specialized care and the rescue team made arrangements to get her to a vet. Skyler's tear duct system and eye socket were damaged by the vet who performed surgery.

How To
How to choose the best name for your pet
When adopting a pet, the name you choose for them is one of your most important decisions. You want to pick a name that reflects who they are and what kind of personality they have.
Also, think about how others might refer you to them. For example, if you plan to use their name when speaking with someone. And finally, you should think about how you yourself would like to be referred to. Are you more comfortable calling yourself "dog" or your "pet"?
Here are some tips that will help you get started.
-
Choose a name that is appropriate for your dog's breed. Look up the names of the breeds if you know the breed (e.g. Labradoodle). Ask someone who has a deep understanding of dogs for suggestions on naming a dog after the breed.
-
Think about the meaning of the name. Some breeds are named after people and places while others are simply nicknames. For example, the Labrador Retriever named "Rover" because he was always running!
-
How would you like to be called? Is it more fun to be called "dog" than "pet"? Would you call your dog "Puppy" or "Buddy"?
-
Don't forget to include the owner's first name. While it is sensible to name your dog after your last name, you don't have to limit your options to include names of family members. You may have your dog as a part of your extended family.
-
Keep in mind that many pets have multiple names. A cat may have many names, depending on where she is located. When she visits her friends, she might be called "Kitty Cat" but "Molly", at home. This is especially true when cats live outdoors. They will often adapt their names to match their environment.
-
Be creative! There is no rule that says you must follow a particular naming convention. Make sure you choose something memorable and unique.
-
Make sure that your chosen name doesn't already belong to another person or group. This will ensure that you don't accidentally steal another's identity.
-
Finally, remember that choosing a name for your pet isn't an exact science. Sometimes it takes time before you can determine if the name is right. You can keep searching until you find your perfect match.
