My 6year old Maltease has lost his sight in the last 6-8 months! Starting with the left one, now both. His vet is not sure why as She says his “Optic Nerve looks fine and healthy”. Im a simple girl and can look at his eyes with no fancy equipment a tell he is blind. Anyway, I need help in helping him and us with getting use to this change. I want it to be as easy for HIM as possible!
Thank you in advance for any halp that you maybe able to provide!
Sincerely ,
Valerie Darcy
It might be worth getting a second opinion from another vet. You never know, it could be something that is reversable.
I have seen 2 Dr.s already. Only other choice is Veterinarian Optho. Say he’s in no pain and all test are normal 🙁
Oh my goodness! These resources are so helpful. This is the best list I’ve seen. THANK YOU!!!!
