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* cry

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. angry

*weep*

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

*wail* cry


He needs a calabar owner. Let the transaction be fast so it won't be a total loss.
Re: My Dog Is Going Blind :'( by IME1: 6:50pm On Feb 11, 2016
I hope you get a good vet. A blind dog can be frustrating for both the dog and it's owner.

Re: My Dog Is Going Blind :'( by Boeing777pilot: 6:55pm On Feb 11, 2016
Seems the OP has offended a lot of people.
I love and own dogs for years so it's very easy for me to get emotional about stuff like this.

OP I suggest you go out of your way to find a good vet for your dog even if it means going to another city.

It's worth the stress.

Best wishes

aawn I can remember when my seven year old Spikey had tick infection.I did everything, I'd go to d vet in my area like four times a day,it got really worse, rapid breath,lethargy,lack of appetite and every time we called it, it will wiggle its tail with all its strength. I felt so much pity that I'd cry nd put food in my hand just to make it eat,yeah! He's been my friend since jss1.I almost put it to sleep, mercy killing but my dad didn't let me, he said I should keep praying to God, I went online and got a general dog antibiotic called Doxycycline with constant prayers in four days it got better. Now its back to sleeping at my window ,making midnight noises, doing morning workout with me and licking my sweat. Some times we don't wanna lose those sweet souls. I'll pray for your dog like I did mine.
How sweet.

This doxycyline is a green coloured capsule, right?

Aww! Kindly take the dog to vertinary services.

Don't u think its time u get another ruggedman. This dog has really tried
My folks don't want another Ruggedman until this present one dies. They are afraid it might infect the pup with whatever ails it.
Re: My Dog Is Going Blind :'( by vivaciousvivi(f): 7:03pm On Feb 11, 2016
So sorry Ishilove. I have refrained from getting a pet as I doubt i would be able to handle the emotional void caused by their deaths. The fact of the matter is Ruggedman has tried. However take him to another vet and see if anything can be done to salvage the situation else, it may be time to start considering the inevitable - euthanasia.

Hi there,

I really feel for you and those making inconsiderate comments have no clue. There is a reason they say a dog is mans best friend. We lost ours 3 years ago due to sickness, though we now have a Amstaff. See pics when she was 20 weeks and 1 year. She is now 3.

I think your dog may be suffering from diabetes due to old age cry. Especially if its that old which is quite old for that type to be honest. In human years, itc comparable to 72yrs. Thing would be to control the diet giving slow carbs. As for the cataracts, if its truly caused by diabetes there is little you can do, if its not it wont spread like that.

Its very easy to diagnose, small tap of blood and they should be able to tell you.

If it gets worse dont let the dog suffer to much, let go no matter how painful.

Take care.

Your dog is so cute! cheesy

Thanks for the advise. It's been very helpful

Get unripe pawpaw use a new blade to draw lines on in horizontally get the whitish liquid into a bowl. If you need to get three or more please do. Parboil the liquid under mild heat for 10 mins. It'll get thickened get pap and feed your rugged man. The cataract would be gone in 3 days. Try it thank me later.

Ishilove,

I feel your pain.

But the only advise i have, take care of Ruggedman till the end (which is very near). We really don't have competent vet doctors for local dogs.
We will. Thanks cry

It's so painful because he is a member of the family

That you are a mod does not give you the right to speak to people rudely. It does not also mean you can use the "f" word as you like.
As for you dog that is going blind by the day, my sincere advice is that you take it to a Calabar vet. Make sure it's a Calabar vet o. They can handle all dog diseases. That is their area of expertise.
The earlier you do this, the better because the more you waste time on nairaland, the more your dog's value would depreciate because it would lose the other eye soon.

Take the dog to these pastors that claim they perform miracles such as TB Joshua or Adeboye.

I would have recommended money ritual but it doesn't work.

grind onions and pour the liquid in the dogs eyes 3times daily for 7days since it will clear the dog eyes totally. any othordox drugs if not properly administered might prove fatal since the dog is aged. just go tradditional. #ruggedmann'slifematters.
