Isabelle is losing her vision but still can see some. If you are offered cyclosporine, ask about Optimmune instead. It's a gel and works so much better than cyclosporine drops. More expensive, but better. <br />A friend's pug went blind very suddenly and has not adapted well at all. One tip I gave her was to use different scents to give a signal. Such as green apple for the tops of stairs or other places of potential danger, lavender for furniture if he bumps into it, etc. That can be a challenge when you are trying to sell your house, but remember that a dog's sense of smell is stronger than ours. So it may fade for human noses, but not dogs. For my friend, I also recommended acupuncture for anxiety. Sierra is having a terrible time with being blind (as well as other issues) and is very anxious. If your Pug is not as anxious, you might try a DAP plug in or collar to help his stress level. <br /><br />Good luck.Southern Fried Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02690807430103140696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178120149412945093.post-75810778306739657872012-07-12T14:08:26.779-05:002012-07-12T14:08:26.779-05:00Yes, I definitely have advice for eye issues. My B...Yes, I definitely have advice for eye issues. My Boston T. has glaucoma and some other long word dry eye issue that requires twice daily drops and ointment. My advice? Don't panic. As Payton's Mom said, Pablo will adjust. Kitty did pretty quickly. The best thing to do is to establish a phrase to signal eye drop time and reward with a treat (at least in our experience). Kitty now lines up on her own for the drop and plays like a mad woman with no real issue from the vision loss other than a milky looking eye. Admittedly, it is not easy to see their eyesight deline, but you are on top of the situation. Let us know how he does!Kitty+Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350428902835405782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178120149412945093.post-79263421683261772332012-07-11T19:53:05.093-05:002012-07-11T19:53:05.093-05:00Pugs aren't that graceful to begin with so I b...Pugs aren't that graceful to begin with so I bet that miss on the ottomin was pretty funny. Glad that his eye sight won't get worse with the drops. Payton was a lot more barky as her eye sight declined, but even when she was almost blind she had no real problems getting around. I think Pug will get used to his changes in vision soon.<br />Love,<br />ChristyPayton's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00314869169521579279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178120149412945093.post-29966416164739717272012-07-11T19:09:10.124-05:002012-07-11T19:09:10.124-05:00No eye advice for pug here but had to comment on t...No eye advice for pug here but had to comment on the bachelorette!! SO wanted the spoilers to be wrong ~ what a sweetheart Sean is!! Totally cracking up at your nicknames for them....its hard to see her with either of them long term but skinny jeans just doesn't seem ready for the whole husband/daddy combo. Looking forward to seeing how it all goes down! :)Aubshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128343996772930458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178120149412945093.post-35559855526784276142012-07-11T19:00:56.958-05:002012-07-11T19:00:56.958-05:00oh poor puppy! he is so adorable by the way.oh poor puppy! he is so adorable by the way.Christi Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926022686995503002noreply@blogger.com
