Sight

We've known for a while that Koby would eventually have vision problems. He has a dark brown film (for lack of a better word) in each of his eyes. This has been slowly growing larger as the years have gone by.

This past week, I've really noticed how his vision has been really bad. He has a hard time spotting me and when he is looking at you, he's not really looking at you.

So, off to the vet this morning to see if there is anything that can be done to stop the progression - probably not, but we'll see.

I've been doing some web searching about blind dogs, and it seems like they can function pretty well. We'll just have to make sure that his surroundings all stay the same.

Still though - it just breaks my heart. I love this dog so much, and he's still quite young at 6-1/2 years old.


I've already told Josie that she'll have to be his seeing eye dog.

UPDATE:
After a run to the vet this morning (and a $120.00 bill - YIKES!), it appears that there is nothing that we can do regarding his eyesight. It is what it is, as they say. They did test to make sure there is no infection and that his eye pressure is ok and all the tests came back normal. We're not sure how much longer he will have the limited eyesight that he does have right now. Time to spoil the pug even more!

Oh, and Josie let me know just how upset she was by being left behind at home while Koby got a car-car ride - a nice present on the carpeting! LOL. What a stinker - literally!!!!
