Yesterday I took her to a specialist and he told me she couldn't see at all. He thinks it's a brain tumor but can't confirm without doing a $2,000 MRI. He said she definitely won't get better only worse. Is it selfish/cruel of me to keep her around being this way? She has other issues as well--bad hips/neck, but she doesn't seem to be in any pain at all. I have no idea what to do. She can find her water bowl and food bowl, but is this too much for her? Any suggestions, thoughts??? Thank you!!! |
I think that you should just enjoy her until you feel it's time for her to rest. Dogs have a way of coping. Her other senses will become heightened to compensate for her loss of vision.
