| Denis: I am very sorry to hear about your troubles. If I may say a few things. First of all, please don't be too hard on your vet. Your dog may have had diabetes long before anyone caught she was in trouble, and that damage has been going on since day one. Cataracts usually don't develop in such a short time as 4 months. Regulating diabetes with a PERSON is very difficult. Getting it right with a dog is even more difficult. I know this, as I am an insulin dependent diabetic AND I work at a vet clinic. The ONLY way to get your dog's eyesight back is to have cataract surgery and have a lens implant. Regular vets do not usually do this, you have to see a specialist, usually at your nearest veterinary school. It is quite expensive, and most people find it cost prohibitive. Please do not waste your money on any type of drops or miracle cures. There aren't any, other than the procedure I described earlier.
There are a number of dogs I know PERSONALLY that are blind and do quite well. ( most of them are basset hounds, blind from glaucoma) There is an online support group for blind dogs that is very helpful, just type in blind dogs into any search engine.
There are other complications from diabetes other than blindness. I am now speaking to you as a diabetic person. The doctor can do alot of things, but the thing that will make or break it is following home care. Those extra treats may seem like you are being nice, but the added carb is a deal breaker. Strict adherence to diet and exercise are vitally important. Your dog can live without her sight, but she cannot live with a failed kidney, which is another diabetes complication. Please remember that the doctor can only fine tune his treatment on what information you give him and test results. Get a glucose meter and learn how to use it on your dog. Keep a log and take it with you to visits. Ask him what else you can do to help your dog keep what vision she has left. We have several diabetic animals in our practice that were diagnosed a long time ago, and are still going strong, but that is because there is serious commitment to their care by their owners. If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know. |
