My 11 1/2 year old newf has recently gone blind. It came on fairly quickly. "Lucy" has been diabetic for about 2 years, but it has been under control with insulin shots. Does anyone have any experience with an elderly blind newf? Has your dog been able to adapt? Any suggestions for helping her adapt more easily? Can the dogs quality of life still be good? PLEASE RESPOND IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS!
Hi, I saw a show on animal planet about a man who had a Newf go blind and the Newf did just fine. The dog still did water rescue training. The man just had to teach the dog more voice commands. Good luck.
