Hi I have a 1 1/2 to 2 year old male with cataracts. He was an abused
rescue. If you looked at my 3 you would have a hard time telling who had
cataracts. Sometimes he bumps but just call his name before you pick him up.
I asked a vet about removing them he said there is no guarantee it will
work and can be risky so I chose not to and see how he does. I have had him
since Dec and he is doing great. Dont listen if anyone tells you Snooper
will have no quality of life my vet told me not to take him but I love
animals and had to. Sometimes those that are alittle different end up to be
the greatest. I have had no experience with him ever biting even though his
eyesight is minimal to gone. He does not know if I hold my finger in his
face but he sure can smell a treat before its in the room. Your snooper will
do just fine, a vet visit just to confirm would be a good idea. Also I have 2
-20 foot clear tubes he loves them I think he knows when he gets in there he
can run fast and know that he will not bump into anything he spends alot of
time running in and out I also put a little ball in and he spends so much
time rolling it to the other end. Life will be of great quality be glad he
has you to spend it with. Chrissy Pupper, Snowball and AJ
