Firstly, they have had similar outcomes from their eye surgery. Violet also had one eye removed and has no lens implant in her remaining eye. Violet’s sight is limited but she manages perfectly well. Vi won’t walk up and down the stairs or jump off the sofa but she has very recently started to get up on the ottoman by herself. When we are out walking, she is very happy to sniff around and trot along with us. I do have to watch her though, because if she loses sight of me, she will start to trot off in a random direction. On the whole, Violet is a very easy dog and her sight has not caused any significant problems. I imagine this will be the same for Zena. She had grown used to having no sight, so surely some sight is a vast improvement for her. We are very conscious of taking extra-special care of Violet’s remaining eye and she has regular check ups with our vet to test the pressure, and occasionally will visit the specialist for an in-depth check. These are becoming less frequent over time.
Such amazing stories of hope for these beautiful dogs. We have a MS and a JRT. If we had more room we would love to rescue a schnauzer. On day , hopefully X
Wonderful to see them doing so well and learning that life – and people – can be good
