Toby Not Doing Very Well. Updated Post #41
« on: August 22, 2010, 08:15:30 PM »
Our beloved Toby has not been doing so well the last 36 hours or so.  :'( He seems to have gone blind and is crashing into everything. He is also not so keen to go out for his walk but he is eating, drinking and all ablutions are still OK.
We have been building ourselves up for this time for a long time, but fear that it is looming quickly. The added concern we have is that we are all going on holiday on Saturday and were concerned h ow he would cope, but now, if he has gone permanently blind - how on earth will he cope.
We just don't know what to do :huh:

Go to the vet. Blindness is generally not sudden, so there may be something that can be done or needs to be addressed now.

Sending lots of positive thoughts for Toby and you :bigarmhug:

Sorry I should have been clearer. His eyes have not been good for some time. His 3rd eye lid is often over his eyes and we have not been sure how he is still seeing but he has been. They don't actually look any different but he is obviously struggling :'(

I'm so sorry to hear about Toby, Pip  & thinking of you all  :lol2:
Can't really help as to regards the holiday .... I think it may be a personal decision you have to make nearer the time. Sorry i can't be more help but send you lots of caring :bigarmhug:'s for you & Toby anyway

(we moved recently & worried terribly for Tinker but in the end, she was the one, who adjusted to the changes the best. However when we went on holiday to The Lakes we didn't take her with us, as we would be out & about a lot. We thought that would be asking too much from her  :-\  )

Only you will know if you should go on holiday and leave Toby, is someone coming in to look after him in your home? if so, then I wouldn't worry too much, as he will cope fine in his own home, he will gradually get used to the layout of the house and will manage fine, as long as no one changes it.

Don't panic too much. dogs cope much better than we do with things, and he will soon get used to everything, as long as you all talk to him as normal and make things easy for him to get around the house and to find his water, food, bed, etc. :D

All we can do toward the end is to let them know how much we love them but I'm sure you are doing this already.
