My mini schnauzer had cataracts and low vision in his last year, but I didn't treat at age 15. He surprisingly navigated around pretty well, even though he was also deaf.

Slowing Wiley's vision loss sounds liked a worthy goal for the moment, if that is possible.
I wondered the same thing back when he started with them, but the docs said it was unrelated to his Cushings. They said it's super common w/ diabetes, but he didn't have it...so they chalked it up to heredity.

Thanks for the love !
