Can you all help me think this through please? I've been at the vets this week with our blind rescue JRT and she thinks he has cataracts, not blindness from an old infection as our previous vet had thought. Essentially, it looks like it might be possible to improve his vision but obviously at a cost (she thinks around £1000). He's not insured as he's elderly (around 13) and it was too high each month.
My dilemma is, do we try and do this? That would be a huge amount for us to find and we are expecting our first baby in 3 weeks so I've just started mat leave. It wouldn't be an issue if I was at work but I'm on stat pay.
I just feel so sad for him!! We moved in November and he's still struggling to find his way round, he is also doing more sniffing than walking which is making his walks a bit of a chore. Help me decide what to do! He's otherwise fit and well, but 13!!
