Thank you so much everyone for your kind words and prayers. It is comforting to know others care.
I am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for news from the hospital and hoping and praying all is well.
As for the early onset, I too was shocked and devastated. The Vet said it can be due to diabetes (which thank God he does not have) or genetic - which he assumed it was. I adopted him at 1.5 years old and had little info on his history or origins. All I knew was that he was a sweet dog and very healthy from Vet exams/tests at the time. About 8 months after adoption he was diagnosed with the dreaded cataract in the right eye that had to be surgically removed fairly soon to prevent terrible complications, and he has the beginnings of cataract in the other eye that we are watching. Poor little babe, having to go through this twice!
Thanks too for understanding how bad I feel for him. Perhaps the Vet's office should provide Valium for concerned Moms!
I will post again when I get any news. Thank you all for being so kind.
Marge
