OP: One year ago today, this sweet little guy had double eneculation surgery due to cataracts, detached retinas, and finally glaucoma. The wonderful team at , including Dr. Francesca Venturi, did such a fantastic job that Dewey just looks like his eyes are closed. Poor Dewey was up to 17 eye drops per day, and had to be on steroid drops for 2 years, causing some strange moods and weight gain. I see that many of my friends and dog followers have blind dogs with eyes. I was so nervous when they mentioned this would be the best option for him. If I am being honest, I was sad for selfish reasons. Even though Dewey was already blind, I loved looking into his little eyes and seeing his cute expressions. I didn't want him to get his eyes removed because that meant he would for sure never be able to see, even though he already would not be able to with his eyes. He does have many expressions now, I just have to pay very close attention. (Continued on OP)
