When living things age, they either age gracefully or age badly.

My 13 year old Bingo, Ruggedman belongs to the latter category. He will be 14 in November, but he might be stoneblind before then.

Ruggedman is already 90% deaf and the only way we can get his attention is by tapping him. He has cataracts in one eye, and it is already spreading to the second.

Now, my question to the house is this: is there something we can do to prevent the cataract overtaking the remaining the good eye? *sob*

Also, he is always coughing. He spends most of the day coughing. The vet in my area is incompetent (he collected big money to treat our Innocent, but the poor thing still died) so we are afraid of taking him there. Most of the dogs handled by this quack end up dying and we don't wanna hasten Ruggedman's imminent demise by handing him to the executioner.

*weep*

What can we do to help my darling Ruggedman? The perennial cough and fast approaching blindness is breaking my heart...

*wail*

We don't have good vets where I am. The last 'good vet' we took Ruggedman's brother to killed the poor thing.

Based on ur story I think ur dog has an eye infection bro u can take her to a renowned vet for eye checkup 95% of eye infection in dogs has a greater tendency of affecting the other eye I don't think the other eye getting blind it really as a result of old age because basenji's (local dogs) are known for living longer than u aspect

You may be right. He is always scratching the eye.

But the thing looks like cataracts o. The stuff is opaque and cloudy

No he won't. He will die peacefully in his sleep and your bad belle will not change it.

Now shut the fvck up and give reasonable people a chance to comment.

I'm ignoring you henceforth.

First, how did you verify that Ruggedman has cataract?

Are there no other Vet. doctor around your neighbourhood.

Cutehector:

Bia, you are barking at the wrong tree. Show some respect to one's pet.

The eye has an opaque and cloudy covering over the pupil
