Hi everyone,
Haven't posted in years. My chihuahua X healer (acd) is now 8 and the best cattle dog anyone ever
had, thanks in all ways to advice found here, marker training, a new way of relating .... And tips on how to handle a working pup, not a pet.
Well, he's a pet now,a sweetums, AND he moves cows every day. At 32 lbs. he's just perfect.
But...he's going blind, fast. Probably PRA, it's classic. We are going to the U next month to the ophthalmologist.....
Looking for info, tips on management as it gets worse. In bright light he's still fine, but as dusk approaches he runs into things, and at night he can't see at all. It began about a year ago.
He doesn't have much of a nose, except for mice in the field, or newborn calf poop. I'd like to teach him to use his nose more. Get him some skills to help him cope.
I see it's in a second edition now ... probably more up-to-date.
It helped me a lot. I learned about using scents (essential oils) indoors, for the food and water bowls, say, and a different one for furniture that can be an obstacle.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving to you, too, Betty. It's good to see you on the board. You have been missed! I hope you and your family are doing well. I'm sorry to hear about the vision issues Pinker is having (I hope I've remembered his name right). Let us know what you find out at the ophthalmologist appointment.
