The blindness is what I'm worried about. She's 10 + 2 months and I'm thinking she's still seeing some but she's not seeing all. She's run into things the last couple of weeks. Things that have always been in the same spots.
So, my question is, when her sight goes completely, is it right to keep a dog going who can't see at all? Is it possible they can adjust?

+1 that is was bumped on not a super depressing story...
I grew up with a cat names Margot, she had cataracts from the time she was 6 to the time she was 17. could see very very limited light differences. Im sure it affected her quality of life, but she live and was a very happy cat. she just walked... slower and carefuller.
