No she only just turned four this past feb. My husband wants to put her down but me and my daughters and the rest of my family told him we would put him down first-hehe!!! He said that she would be miserable being blind and wouldn't have the quality of life that she was accustomed to. But I feel that if she is surrounded by her loved ones, she would be happy enough to live a long life. Do you think it could be caused by an accidental breeding? She had one litter of full-blood chi's (she had three but one was stillborn)The next litter was not planned. She had four and two were stillborn. We still don't know who the daddy was but her puppies weigh about three and a half times she does and they are HUGE!!! After she had that last litter it looked like it added ten years on her life and she looks like a sad old lady. I've had her fixed because it really was hard on her having that last litter. She weighed about five and a half pounds until i got her fixed now she looks like a rolly-polly. sorry it's so long-i can ramble for days!!!
