No direct experience with cataracts but I had a poodle with glaucoma so we spent many hours over the years in the waiting room of the eye specialist and met many dogs that had - or were preparing to have - cataract surgery. The specialist we were seeing did a lot of that particular surgery and had a very good success rate. For a young dog like yours, I would have the surgery if possible. Our dog eventually went blind and did okay but she was about 13 then. Your dog has a long life ahead, so I would preserve the eyesight if possible! |
