[quote=Anonymous] No experience with blind dogs, but plenty with blind horses. My advice is that some animals adapt VERY well to being blind, and others struggle, based on their personalities and temperament. I had one blind horse that was happy as a clam as long as he knew his pasture (and I had to be very careful about which other horse to turn him out with because he could not see kick warnings, etc.) Another gradually became 90% blind, and he did not adapt well at all. He would startle at random sounds and bolt in a blind panic, running into buildings and fences. I euthanized him before he broke a leg or killed someone. You know your dog, and keep an eye out for which type he's going to be. If you see your pet devolving into anxiety and fear, the kinder thing is to euthanize. On the other hand, your dog may well turn into a happy go lucky, enjoying life boy who you can train to do well even in public. Good luck.[/quote]
