Thank you Lynzy for the recommendation. We do have some great opthamologists here but it's always great to have options. I'm finding Sprite's vision impairment very confusing. Last night we were throwing her little toy indoors and she would chase it like always but then couldn't find it right under her nose. This morning I did this little test I read online about dropping cotton balls and then observing her ability to track them. She had no trouble at all...just zoomed right in. In fact she tried to eat one before I could get it, that's how quick she was. She didn't like it by the way and spat it out, thank goodness. She also was moving around fine inside and outside this morning and did fine on the stairs. So she clearly has some sight, at least in bright light. At dusk or dark, she really looks completely blind. The opthamologist recommended a great book "living with blind dogs" by Carol Levins and I've got it on order. So I find myself being strong one minute and then crying the next. My husband and daughter's keep telling me that she'll be fine and adapt and she does look pretty happy, but I worry for her. I think I need to do what good Yorkie mama's do when they're upset.....slip out for a bit and do a little retail therapy for Sprite
