My beagle is 5 years old and today I just brought him home from the doctor after getting his last eye removed. He was born with his eyes larger then his eye sockets and he developed glaucoma about a year-and-a-half ago. The 1st eye was removed last year and we thought he would be able to see for another couple of years but 6 days ago the medications stop working and his eye turned completely white. The doctor said he was in a lot of pain because his eye has grown so large that it was time to remove it. He's on the sofa recovering right now and we're going to do our best to help him adjust.
I don't normally post here but he could definitely use your prayers and love today.
Thanks everyone.

That doggo is gonna be just fine. Ya know why? Because dogs are the greatest creatures on earth. All he needs is love and food.

I have a blind boy too now. He adjusted very quickly. Use 4 different scents to help him find doors etc. Works a treat

My dog has been blind for a few years now. Takes lots of patience, but they Love all the same. You did the right thing!! ☺

There will probably be a rough adjustment period but dogs are really resilient to this kind of thing, he'll adjust. Just keep in mind (1/2)
Rayxzerox
Keeping furniture and, in particular, your dogs belongings (like bowls, beds, crates) in the same place will help him adjust. Good luck.

Poor puppers! My brothers dog went completely blind in a few weeks from SARDs but got along fine with time and adjustments! Best of luck!

Take good care of him, make him feel loved and he'll be ok :-)

Make sure you tell him I said he's a good boy, and give him a nice behind the ear scratch for me. I wish I could do more. Thanks OP

I was going to say something like this.. but saw your comment so GG :)

I'm so sorry. I have beagle too, they are darlings. They live for sniffing and food so he will still be happy.

That's so hard. I had my cocker's first eye removed and then her second one went two weeks later. Hope your pupper adjusts well.

Get better mister! I had a blind pup for about 7 years - diabetic condition. He was great and always happy!
todspeed
He's a dog dog don't give up he will adjust. He will be fine.

Your dog needs a seeing eye cat, or that loopy metal thing that goes around the pupper's head.
justTed
there are some great tips on reddit for training blind dogs, good luck!

Getting his last eye removed is quite the ambiguous statement given the things I have seen

My fucking god, big hug op. I hope he still gets around good and enjoys the life he can
projectjc
all the best op we're proud of you!
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
He's a dog. They're like the "enjoying life" benchmarks, I have high hopes. :D
nardog54
From what we've seen and read he should adjust within a week or so
xxjabberwocky
Animals are resilient. One of my horses lost all vision in 1 eye and most in another, and still kept on as usual. My thoughts are with you!!
OldIronsides
He'll still enjoy lying in the Sun, and feeling it's warmth.
Denturedog
That's amazing, do you have another dog in the house?
nardog54
Yeah a mastiff he's being good letting him be right now
Denturedog
Good luck keep us posted op

These work great. I work in pet care and regularly walk two blind dogs
sunlitglo
Yeah! Attach a chihuahua to him! He'll like the company and the guidance
The8obman
I bet chihuahua barks sound like "HEY, LISTEN" to other dogs
