Amber is my 5 year old Jack Russell she was misdiagnosed as having
an eye infection when in fact she was experiencing an early onset
of Glaucoma. By the time the vet discovered it she was already 97
percent blind in her right eye. I opted to have the eye removed
and a prosthetic eye put in, so she would at least feel like there
was something there, and would feel somewhat normal. I just couldn't
stitch the socket shut she was too smart, and I thought that would
break her spirit because she would have known something was definitely
wrong then.
She is losing her sight in her left eye now but she is a champ you
would never know that she is living with a disability, I don't even
think she knows it to be honest with you. I am extremely proud of
her and how triumphant she has been in this battle. She has a younger
sister, so in a way, I think that has helped her to have her buddy
around.
Anyway we take things day by day and just keep trucking along. Thank
you for having a site dedicated to these situations so many people
it seems think that their dog being blind is the end of the world
but actually it is just the beginning of a new one.
