Peek A Boo had cataracts in both eyes since I got him at 5yo. On his 1st vet visit she asked how long he had been blind! I knew he could see by the way he got around (in new surroundings). I priced the surgery a few times, and it was $3000 for one eye, but what concerned me more (as he was older) was the 50% success rate. He still had some sight, a lot actually. I started giving him coconut oil in his food and his cataracts stopped getting worse (less cloudy), and I think his vision even improved. I decided not to put him through the surgery, and he had vision till the day he passed on, at 17 years old. |
