| My bud came down with diabetes in the spring, now has cataracts. Surgery is in a couple weeks and I was wondering if any of your pups have gone through this? Gus is a Rottie, just turned 8 and Im giong to do what I can to make him happy. |
| UPDATE: Thanks for your support. Gus is back from surgery and doing very well. He can see, the surgery went fine. He has never lost his puppieness and now is puppier than ever. I would like to tell anyone who has had this happen to their dog, the sugery is worth it, if you love your dog....changed his name to Beldar, for the time being............ |

My cat was born with cataracts, bad enough that no dilation even allows the retina to be visible. She gets around just fine although she does end up using her claws a little more since she can't be absolutely sure she has sure footing. She likes to chase bugs but because she does it all with sound she's typically 1 second or two late with her pounces.
My sister's shiba lost both her eyes to glaucoma, but because it happened so late in life she hasn't really bounced back and instead finds her way by bumping into things. |
