I had a senior male that I took in. He slowly went blind and deaf. He was able to get down from the bed on the ramp and use the pee pads that were next to the ramp. He would walk down the hall and into the kitchen. Pixie one of my other dogs, would sometimes walk beside him down the ramp and hall to help guide him. It was so special. I was amazed at how he adapted to being blind. As he got even older (17-18 years old approx) he became disoriented and scared when approached because he couldn't see or hear them. Sadly, kidney failure became so severe we had to put him to sleep. I hope Samantha can adjust.
