Deaf dog is going blind
We have a deaf 8/10ish year old Blue Heeler that we suspect was born deaf, her name is Blanche. We adopted her 3 years ago and she has been doing great, such a happy girl. She has had a great quality of life and we did lots of research into how to care for a deaf dog and it's going great. We just took her to an eye specialist because we thought she was getting cataracts. Turns out she has progressive retinal atrophy and will be blind in a year or two. I'm looking for some insight and advice in how to ease her into this next chapter and keep her comfortable and happy. Currently she has trouble seeing in the dark and we take her outside at night with a flashlight which seems to ease some of her discomfort/fear in the dark outside. Any advice would be great, thank you.
