Phoebe has gone blind - YorkieTalk.com Forums

zoeybear · 07-10-2008, 10:26 AM

Phoebe is not a Yorkie, but my beautiful mini schnauzer. She is almost 12 yrs old. She has diabetes and takes insulin 2X a day. She has gone almost completely blind in a matter of a few days. She has cloudy eyes (cataracts) but her eyesight has just gone in the last few days. She walked right off into the pool yesterday with us watching her. She has an appointment with the vet today at 1:45. I am so sad that she is deteriorating. She has survived cancer and now diabetes. I guess I don't really need any help, just some hugs! Here is her pic back in her glory days!

What a regal girl your Phoebe is. A real beauty. I am so very sorry that she is having health problems related to her age. It is so very hard living with an elderly furbutt with health issues. I am there, doing that now. Sending Phoebe get well wishes AND you hugs

ARCHIE · 07-10-2008, 11:13 AM

This is the time we all dread, when they get older and fail.
That is so very sad, however, if her health is ok she will get
use to being sightless, as sad as that is and find her way around.
My neighbor has a 13yrs old Mini Schanuzer also and she is in
cardiac arrest. Buddy's girlfriend. They walk her in a baby carriage
and try to keep her from being tired. She has failed so in the
last month. It's very sad to see.
I hope your baby stays healthy and adjusts.

Hugs,

She was a beauty in that pic. I know you need hugs. Here they are!

grandmatoall · 07-10-2008, 11:20 AM

Ohh. Hugs to you and to your baby. She is gorgeous and it is plain to see you love her very much.

she'll probably adjust to going blind. I know of a blind doxen who gets around so well you would think she could see.. then they also have another doxen, divet who helps her out and looks after her(it's so cute).
