The Results Are In

After Shane's last eye checkup, I started him on OccuGlo, which is an eye supplement. As I tend to do, I fantasized that today the vet would look at his eyes and exclaim in amazement that he was perfectly fine. I have been looking so forward to this day.

In a heart-crushing moment, the vet said his retinal degradation had gone from mild to moderate. So he's getting worse. She began to tell me of a supplement and I stopped her. He's been on it for 6 months now. She said it would slow the degradation but not reverse it.

She did say that normally she would never see a dog like Shane because he is perfectly fine as a dog. It's only his agility performance that is affected and caused me to get him checked.

We go back in 6 months. We will continue to work and hope for the best. Thank goodness for NADAC and tunnelers. We will always be able to do that. It's hard to believe that one day he will be blind.
