Nobody Thought This Blind Pittie Would Ever See Again Until… | The Dodo 

It's weird, how dogs get human ailments like cancer and cataracts

@@kathleenking47. True. I had a beautiful girl with breast cancer, and my boy had cataracts, they were both cats, but the biggest killer in my experience was kidney failure. So sad.

You know, the video could have actually explained that... 😒

I didn't know they could remove them

@@mp8350 Did you notice how her eyes looked at the beginning of the video? They were slightly "milky." (I will watch again later.)🙂

@@aisha2370 Thanks! I was scrolling the messages to find the answer!

Most surgeries that can be performed on humans can be performed on other animals. Putting them under tends to be more dangerous because humans are generally better at surviving trauma, but if it's important enough to one's health or quality of life, it's totally worth it.

I can relate to this pup! I was the youngest in a large family in the 50's and could see nothing but a blur of colors, unless something was within a few inches of my face. I had no idea of how I was supposed to be seeing, so never complained (I was just considered to be a klutz). It was my 5th grade teacher who figured it out, after we had a math test, and the problems had been written on the board. I got every one of them wrong (I used to pull at the sides of my eyes to try to see), but my homework was always correct. He noticed that the problems were written down wrong. I remember the eye doctor, after the exam, telling my mother it was a wonder I was never hit by a car, as I couldn't see one coming (I couldn't even see the big "E" on the chart, just a blur of white). I will never forget the day I got my glasses, the beginning of November 1963, when I got 20/20 sight! It was and will always be the happiest day of my life. Kudos to everyone that helped this pup see again!

DMSO cures cataracts.

I have a 17 years old yorkie who went completely blind too. So i understand what you went thru, all the grieve and sadness. But very quickly he adapted to his situation, though he still bumps into walls occasionally. I share the same thoughts as you, their capability to adapt always leave me in so much amazement.

I too had a blind dog..Stone was my 9 year old miniature schnauzer that went blind due to his diabetes. Stone was amazingly smart and took losing his vision in stride. He didn't live much longer as we were unable to get his diabetes under control. He passed at age 10. Hugs to you Hazel!!

My 14 yr old Chinese crested is blind due to having here eyes taken out because of glaucoma 2 years ago. I too am amazed at how well she adapted to her blindness. She also has a lot more energy now after her blindness due to the fact that she is out of pain. BUT she will no longer outside. She only feels safe in the house.

That's one dog who would no longer hate the vet.

@@kingchakazulu7762 The first family was fostering her.

Thank you adopters.

That is a VERY Pitbull thing… they get so excited and their bodies all one big chunk of muscle so when they get goin it’s just WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE lol. My boy wiggles a bit but gets the tail going hardcore we call him ‘Tornado Tail’ - My parents have a Pit/Boxer and we call him ‘Wiggle Butt’ lol

@@joeymcquilkin3670 When the tail just isn't enough to get the point across...

@@joeymcquilkin3670 yup it is lmao, they wiggle their whole butt and wag their tail HARD when they get excited. And don't get on the floor to pet em cause they'll tackle you and lick you all over the face! I love pitbulls 😂

Yes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Maybe they couldn’t afford surgery for her and knew that if a rescue picked her up, they would raise money for her surgery? Maybe it was the ultimate love for her? So maybe they didn’t «dump» her, but rather gave her a chance to see again?

A lot of people hand over their pets so they can get treatment. It’s actually a good thing. I knew someone that had dropped their dog off because they had cancer that they couldn’t afford to treat. The shelter treated her cancer. It was either give her up or out her down, both options are hard the the owner

Well, foster parents have to find forever homes because if they don't and they adopt the animal, that means one less foster or less room they have and the fewer animals they can foster at a given time.

I foster. It can be really hard, especially when you're the first person they might ever have trusted. But where I live we are only allowed 10 dogs. But I always offer free pet sitting so I see many of my past dogs every so often.

@@AzeraV keep up the great work.

I used to view it the same way. then I realized that when people foster they are in a way like teachers, nurses, carers of elders, nanies. they help those in need, but they are meant to teach, help etc others as well. and even though each animal is unique, in a way it is not a one and only love, which makes it easier for both parties to deattach.

It was cataracts! Which means a film forms over the lens of the eye and makes everything so blurry you can't make anything out. The lens can be taken out and replaced, clearing up the film! Cataracts is one of the only forms of blindness that can be corrected. 😁

They adjust. I tell mine “up” when there is a step and uppie when I’m going to pick him up. I don’t move the furniture. It’s the little things❤️

You can dab eucalyptus oil on things and she will learn to check where she smells. Or dab on steps - but you have to renew regularly.
