GIVING DAY FOR APES – 4 days to go!
DOGUY is our one-eyed resident to whom we have dedicated this year’s GIVING DAY FOR APES campaign. Every single donation will help our sanctuary cover the different costs of this important surgery (cataract on his remaining eye!).
From the 16th of September on till D-Day of the GIVNG DAY FOR APES event(Sept.25) , we are going to tell you DOGUY’s story and how he faced eye issues. These are the different topics we have already talked about to introduce DOGUY:
1/ How DOGUY arrived at J.A.C.K.
2/ How DOGUY adjusted to his life at J.A.C.K.
3/ Beginning of DOGUY’s disease
4/Doguy a vulnerable chimpanzee
Keep in mind that this huge fundraising event will give DOGUY the chance of not becoming blind.

D Day -4 / Galopping progress of eye disease
For several years, no progress was to be seen on Doguy’s right eye! It was as if the white spot had stopped growing. DOGUY was doing fine and had adjusted well to his new life…
Unfortunately, by the end of year 2016, we noticed a galopping progress of the white spot which became bigger, looked harder and affected the cornea. Drugs had no more effects! The tough decision of removing DOGUY’s right eye had to be taken!
