I've just re regged here after hackergate on a new email, I have had helpful advice on this forum before and could do with some now.
We considered studding my Lhasa apso 20 months old due to his lineage etc. took him for a progressive retinal atrophy test as you do to ensure he was clear before studding. The vet told us his retinas are already really bad and he will be blind in the next 6-12 months . Obviously heartbroken as he is only so young. She's retesting him in 6 months to ensure it is a progressive atrophy and not just idiopathic.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to care for a blind dog properly? Or any experience with PRA? Particularly if your dog was diagnosed young.
Has anyone heard of ocu glo antioxidant supplements? I'm told they are good for slowing retinal atrophy but I don't know what's for the best.
Do I need to change his diet?
Thanks for the help.
