Well we've made the appointment at the vets for Toby tomorrow evening. Really don't know what the outcome will be. The inevitable frightens me  :'(

Thinking of you, yes they can go blind very quick sometimes over night, its caused by a build up of blood and pressure alot of older dogs suffer with it.
Is he staying somewhere he knows well when you go on holiday?

It's hard not to think of things like "the inevitable" when they are old, but it may be something that can be helped or lived with too

Sending lots of positive thoughts  :luv:

I'm so sorry to hear about Toby and hope that the vet visit will lead to some sort of improvement to his eyesight. Do you know what has caused the third eyelid to close? Is it as a result of underlying health problems that you are already aware of? It can be as a result of an infection, which can clear up after a course of antibiotics.

FWIW though, I know of a couple of friends, whose dogs who have lost their sight and within a short while they do adjust remarkably well. Of course it does mean that moving things around in the house is not a good idea and you have to adjust your behaviour, by giving verbal warnings and cues rather than visual, so that you don't frighten him-that sort of thing.
Have you checked your pet insurance? Some policies will include cover you if you have to cancel a holiday as a result of your pet becoming ill.
Thinking of you for tomorrow.
