FAO Monkey Mavis: re dog with hayfever, now diagnosed with...

Oh blimey rrr that is all a bit of a shock for you all.

Great that your vet picked up on this straight away and sent him to the AHT.

Lots of sticky vibes for his retinas ?

It has definately only been this bad for the last 24 hours tops. But today it became obvious he couldln't see properly. I just hope he gets back to his old self soon. The specialist seemed hopeful so that is good. Just very worrying today!

Aww poor thing. Does he have hayfever or was the problem his retinas all along? Hope he is better soon.

I would think that it wasn't hayfever, but whatever the cause of the retinas detaching is. Obviously something was bothering him, but I think they only actually ditached yesterday or this morning.

Bit of a shock that it all happens so quickly.

Bless him. The good thing is that it has been caught early so hopefully his vision can be saved.

Oh no, I hope all works out ok for him, poor thing ? I hate seeing ill pets, I just wish they could speak!

Not that it would come to this but there are several blind dogs that walk in our local woods. They get on really well and play stick/ball and run around. One is gorgeous, we call him foxy and his owner just calls "follow foot" and he stays at her heal. It's truly amazing how well they get on and in we had no idea 2 of the dogs were even blind until the owner said.

I'll keep everything crossed and get my two pups to do the same xx

Oh bless him - fingers crossed they fix quickly.

Sx

Poor, poor thing. It's awful when they're poorly.

Hope he makes a swift recovery and is back to his normal self soon.

Oh poor pooch. We have a blind dog, our Akita Rico (to go alongside our deaf staffie Ellie and our healthy-but-just-generally-stoopid mastiff cross Jess!). We have to call "step" so Rico knows to step up or down a curb for example. He gets by and is a happy soul, but we can't change furniture around as he will walk into it. I can't remember the name for it, but the layers of his eyes sort of stuck together and he has now got cateracts to go along with that. He isn't insured either (biiiiiiiiiiiiig mistake. Huge. ?) and it costs around £50-£100 a month for his medication and constultations.

I hope your boy enjoys his TLC and rest and I hope they can save his vision x

I just really hope this medication works. He seems to know his way around although doesn't always realise when doors are shut! Plus trying to keep him apart from our very springy sprocker spaniel is not easy. They are currently on beds on opposite sides of the kitchen. I'm currently dog wrangling, as poorly dog doesn't like to be 'surprised' by our other dog.
