This past week has been very hard for
me. I have a 13 year-old Miniature
Schnauzer who has been very healthy….until now.
She recently started drinking a lot of water and having urine accidents
in the house. I woke one morning and noticed she was bumping into things and
acting like she couldn’t see. After
taking her to Carolina Pets Animal Hospital for a full work up and blood work, my
veterinarian came to the conclusion she has sudden acquired retinal
degeneration syndrome (SARDS).
She had all the symptoms: increased
weight, weeks of increased drinking, and overnight blindness.
The bad news: It’s retinal degeneration.
There’s no cure.
With assistance from the wonderful
veterinarians at Carolina Pets Animal Hospital, we are helping my girl adjust
to sudden blindness.
If you’re dog experiences sudden
blindness here are a few websites that I found to be useful resources:
