The eye has an opaque and cloudy covering over the pupil

KingTom:
that was how Rivaldo died! take him to a vet Maybe they will have something. Rivaldo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rivaldoooo oh my God you were more than a friend

blackboy:
Try sugar n salt solution. Or apply raw aloevera gel into his eyes. Its strange he should have eye infection not common with his breed

Ishilove:

Same way my Ruggedman is more than a friend

I once had a bingo that died of old age too, it had cataract all its life, but I still loved it dearly. imagine, my dog was running loose one day and it had a collision with a nepa pole.. As for cataract, it can only be operated on I guess, but considering the age of the dog it is better you keep caring for it and wait for the Inevitable...

KingTom:

Don't worry if you're lucky he may go peacefully in his sleep like Rivaldo

Ishilove:

Thanks

Was it able to see with the cataracts?

Ishilove:

Most likely he will because he doesn't leave the compound. He has always been such a gentle, sweet and loving animal

But I pray he doesn't get squashed in the very compound he doesn't leave because he is now deaf so most times he lays on the path of the vehicle and we always have to come down to drive him away because he can't hear us honking

KingTom:
why did you have to say squash Brown (1995-1999) squashed by Alhaji Ademola and Scooby (2002-2003) squashed by the evil and wicked Alimi please do your best to prevent that happening to ruggedman no one deserves such a cruel fate

Ishilove:

Shey na only una dog dey?

All these squashing...

Ishilove:

Thanks. Can you please recommend any?

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*

fflamingo:
Ours was 15 when it disappeared, most dog like that don't die. My dog was immune to poison
Give it coconut oil(adin) to sustain her skin.

Where are you based?The secret is to locate a good qualified vet around where you live so that you can always get the pet to him quickly and easily.

Seriously though, if you have lived with a loyal animal for 13 years, it becomes a part of the family. You just cant abandon it. It's like abandoning your own child

fflamingo:

Honestly that was like ours, more than a family. before its disappearance we have stationed a place for her burial ground at a point too her nickname was grandma

mekzyjoe:

Ur environment looks dirty, no wonda d dog is goin blind.. .. Do u live in a ghetto? My frend, kill dat hungry dog

Ishilove:

Oya point out the dirt in the 'environment'. You just want to type rubbish because you have free mb.

Gerrahhere! You think I'm joking?

Come and kill the dog na since you're so concerned.

Ishilove:

There is no good vet where I live, except that nasty executioner of dogs

Caveatemptor:

Try Ikeja vetinary hospital.

Ishilove:
