Answer:

i wun put it to sleep.. but it takes alot extra care to look after a blind dog... it can't tell u it`s miserable... but as long as u r there for ur dog... it`s can feel..remenber dog nose very sensitive take good care of ur dog.. don't rob it`s living

Answer:

dogs can sense feeling...
when u see him bumping into things coz he is blind.. losing weight, frail and weak, i guess this wld be the time to consider putting it to sleep...
personally, as long as the dog is healthy, i wont consider putting it to sleep, even if it is frail (but generally healthy) it wld take alot to end his/her life too :/
my grandaunt had an akita (in aus) tt was stung by a bee on the eye, went blind.. but then the infection and stuff coz it to be weak, seeing her pet dog bumping into stuff and being weak, my grandaunt took the decision to end his misery... btu she cried for 2weeks so yeah.. ending a life is tough :/

Answer:

Haiz...he is still strong and all...So if your dog's going blind but still healthy,please don't go put him to sleep...is dam sad one,they got feeling de leh.

Answer:

hey biker, from the picture in your signature... your hair is so 70s.

Answer:

There's no straightforward answer to your dilemma, but the main criteria in my opinion would be the quality of life it would lead. If it can adapt to blindness and there are no complications, of course there's no problem right? No need to put it to sleep just because it's blind. My neighbour's dog became blind in its old age too, but it's still very healthy. Just that my neighbour got to take extra care of it....no other problems.
But on the other hand, if it's suffering, then what's the point in prolonging a life just for the sake of it when it's not enjoying quality of life anymore? Making the choice to let go is difficult but then again, would you rather have your pet be by your side even though it's suffering?
So it all depends on the condition of your doggie

Answer:

I have no right to make the decision for them.. So i wont.. Unless they are really suffering..
