Hello my little Dachprint community.
Has anyone ever experience sudden loss of eyesight? And have any suggestions where to from here?
My little Charlie yesterday afternoon over the span of an hour went from seemingly having no issues, to suddenly blind.
After taking him to the Manly Road Vets in Brisbane, it’s been determined his left eye has glaucoma and a cataract and his right eye has had its lens fall back and now has no vision 😞
To say I’m upset is an understatement. He showed no signs of any sight issues, would chase his balls for hours and bark at birds on the fence.
He’s home now, and they’re saying there’s ultimately nothing can be done, and while he seems in good spirits, I now have to adjust to a blind dog.
Thankfully Henry his companion can see. But is now very confused.
Any tips for adjusting to this new normal? I’ve put a bell on Henry’s collar so Charlie can hear and hopefully help locate him when I’m at work.
Thanks guys x
