Tripp Update
2/4/07
Well fortunately Tripp does not have Diabetes! That's the good news! However he is still loosing his eye sight, that's the bad news. I am going to seek a second opinion with a friend's vet & then we are off to the eye specialist in Akron, Ohio. Hopefully they'll have good news for us & we'll be able to get some of his eye sight back.
For the time being we are working with Tripp to get himself oriented around the house & used to using his other senses. He hasn't had the greatest "sniffer" in the world but its amazing to see him use his nose more!
Thanks for all the kind words & best wishes for my baby! Its amazing how much you can love a little four legged, furry guy!

Tripp needs glasses
Hey Everyone,
I just want to come out & let everyone know whats going on w/ my puppy. Over the past two months we have noticed that Tripps left eye was cloudy. We the past 3 days the right eye has started to cloud over so I took him to the vet.
As of right now I've been told he is developing Cataracts (he's only 4) early which is very rare. They are trying to find out why but unfortunately it looks as if he is going to be blind. Right now he has very limited vision & as you can imagine he is really struggling to adapt. He walks into walls, us & Whimpy. Outside is scarry as all hell because he has no idea where to even go....espcially with everything being white.....just blinds him out. He is very depressed & lithless. Doesn't want to do anything but sleep & cuddle.
They are checking for diabetes & i should know maybe over the weekend. However the condition is still non reversable. I'm not sure what we are going to do. They did give us a dog eye specialist in Akron to go see ...... but who knows if I can afford it. But I'll try & see. They said surgery may help....may not.
So.......I'm struggling big time & have been very down & sad about the entire thing. It is so hard to watch him be so scared. Just breaks my heart & I dont know what I can do for him. But I'm going to start working with him on his surroundings while he still has some vision left & hopefully he'll adapt well. (according to the vet he'll go well...I guess its getting me to adapt that gonna be rough).
