It's hard to have the eye sight go overnight and for Ruby that's what it did as the day before she was catching things thrown in her mouth (a good girl treat).

Sight is the dog’s third most powerful sense, and they can get along without it! Dogs adapt faster and better than a human ever could, so have confidence in Ruby; she’s amazing, DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-50609482043873487132010-07-12T17:15:31.639-04:002010-07-12T17:15:31.639-04:00To Ruby's Person: I think the most important t...To Ruby's Person: I think the most important thing is to hang in there. I get around wayyy better than my human ever expected. My blindness was more progressive which gave me time to adapt, but I know several blind dogs who live happy lives.

This blog is to help others who are going though tough times with their dogs and perhaps through owner education even to prevent some of the things from happening.DawgBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549947489170037163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-35345017604998197252010-07-10T13:52:15.889-04:002010-07-10T13:52:15.889-04:00Hi HGC!

So sorry to hear about Ruby.<br /><br />Blind dogs can orient through the space using their other senses, touch, smell and hearing.<br /><br />Different floor textures in different areas would help her to tell where she is.

I own four that I have resucued personally from puppy mills; my girl Ruby has diabetes and went blind over night. She gets 10 units 2x per day of insulin at 8am and 6pm and gets around okay but it hurts to see your baby run into walls or fall down steps. Breaks my heart in trying to deal with this and also fight my own battles.<br /><br />http:/Hollywood Glamoroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902214852153810208noreply@blogger.com
