In spirit of Halloween, our first featured pet is the fashionable, sports-loving Gia, an English Bulldog who came to our office at six months of age. Gia was diagnosed with entropion, a condition we commonly see in which an animal’s eyelids roll inward, causing the eyelids and eyelashes to rub against the eye and often causing painful irritation, corneal ulcers, and scarring. We medically managed Gia’s corneal ulceration before performing surgery to correct her condition.
Gia hasn’t let that pesky entropion cramp her style, and always comes to our office dressed to impress. Her many outfits have become the inspiration for Gia’s Boutique, which will have a range of collegiate cheerleader outfits, holiday clothes, and summer dresses handmade just for bulldogs.
Gia is as active as she is trendy, and loves playing soccer, skateboarding, going to her brother’s baseball games, and chasing balls, bubbles, laser lights, and everything else that moves. She’s also a devoted UGA fan and her grandfather and great-grandfather were “Uga VI” and “Uga V,” official mascots of Georgia University. Her life goal (along with becoming famous and walking the red carpet) is to be on the sidelines of a Georgia Bulldog football game and meet Uga in person.
Gia lives at her home in Humphreys County, TN, with her 16-year-old human brother, 5 dog brothers and sisters, 3 horses, 2 roosters, and 3 recently adopted kittens that follow her around everywhere. Say hi to Gia on Facebook!
