[Rhodes22-list] Blind Dog Advice

[Brad Haslett]

Dear List,

Since 'da list' is so resourceful for so many things, let me float this
problem by you.  Our dog, Gracie, has gone blind in a period of less than a
week.  She's roughly 13 years old (a Shelty/Border Collie/Mutt rescue dog at
approximately 5 years old) and in good health but in the last week her eyes
have clouded over and she can't see a thing.  I'd think cataracts but it
came on too quickly.  Anyone had a similar experience and/or came up with a
solution?  I'm taking her to the vet this week but would like to hear from
other's experience.  She follows us by voice and smell but it is painful to
watch her struggle.  Her tail still wags when she's around family.  Any
suggestions?

Brad
