My dog, Lincoln, was diagnosed with diabetes back in February. He just turned 10 in June and is doing pretty well with his insulin. However, as I knew would happen eventually, he appears to be losing his eyesight. It seems to just have happened over the last week or so.
Anyway, I am planning on calling the vet today and am curious about what to expect. Will they do tests? Will they suggest surgery? Do dogs with cataracts usually have surgery, or just if they are in pain (which he doesn't seem to be). How much does surgery generally cost? I just want to know what to epect before I bring him in I guess.
And I know from reading some posts on here that most dogs adjust to it pretty well. But...I am very sad about this.
Thanks
