Lemmy was rushed to the vet for urgent care. The team had to shave off her tangled fur, treat her for ringworms, and sadly, had to remove one of her eyes that was beyond repair. It was heartbreaking to learn that if her infection had been treated sooner, she may not have had to go through losing her eye.
