Update: He came through surgery like a champ. The vet said he had congenitally small eyes which made the surgery more complicated, but he was able to remove the cataracts and implant the lenses so we are super optimistic. Stay tuned for updates and thanks.
*******************************************
We need some help. It's been a rough couple of days with hit by car dogs needing amputations and a couple of gunshot cases, but first up is Oliver. At very long last, after delays for pneumonia and a host of complications, Oliver is going to get his vision back today. Oliver was born with cataracts that have left him functionally blind. The excellent news we got yesterday was that he does not have detached retinas which significantly improves things. The bad news is this is still a $5K surgery.
Oliver has the issues he does because of poor breeding practices. His brother was born deaf. They are the result of a double merle breeding to try to get the oh so sellable blue merle coloring. What they got were deaf and blind dogs and we ended up with them when they were abandoned.
