Dog going blind. Advice?
My dog is going blind from cataracts (associated with his diabetes) and we are moving in 3 months. I was hoping the decline in his eyesight would happen after the move but alas, here we are. I’m trying to not worry, but I don’t want him to lose confidence. His move here was difficult and he could see, so I worry this will be a nightmare for him if this progresses quickly.
How can I make this not so stressful for him? Should I get him a sighted dog as a buddy?
I know the move will be hard as we’re moving back across the country to go back to our home state. I’m already trying to put bells on my shoes when we leave the house so he learns before he loses his eyesight that it is me making that sound so he knows I’m there once he’s fully blind.
Ugh I am a mess about this.
