I just got back from the veteranarian's office. We decided to take Bubs in because we noticed one of his eyes is clouded over and kind of reddish around the outside. Dr. Jace King (also a friend from our ward) was great. He diagnosed him with Juvenille Cataracts. The bad news is that he is developing one in his other eye too. The only real solution to the problem is surgery, which Jace thought would run about $2000 per eye!!! He recommended waiting to see if the other eye goes blind too...and then we can consider the surgery. He said he's seen many dogs function with no sight, but poor Blackberry. We're supposed to watch for signs of Glaucoma too, which can be painful, but nothing on that front yet. He's still just a puppy...it's so sad. I think he'll be all right, but we're going to watch him and decide as things get worse.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteSorry about Blackberry. He will amaze you with his ability to adapt to his changing condition.
I also saw your entries on your blog. I am excited that you are painting again. Looking forward to future releases. They complement Scott's 3D landscapes. I am very impressed with both of you.
Also, congratulations to Scott on his growing notoriety, no wait - I mean congratulations to Scott on his growing FAME. It is well deserved!
