My rat terrier

[bcoceo85]

Buster is my dogs name. He is a rat terrier....he turned 12 yrs old in December. He was diagnosed with diabetes in September. He get insulin shots twice a day. Since a week before Christmas he has had spots in his eyes. Took him to the vet the other day and was told that he has cataracts and that he is now blind.
My poor dog is so nervous and confused...he jumps and jerks at almost every unusual noise.....He cant focus and see anything now. Its really sad.

Bless your heart! Both you and Buster. That's so sad. The poor baby needs a seeing eye ferret or something! Hugs to you both!

Oh, I'm so sorry. It's got to be difficult for you, watching these things happen to your friend. Give Buster a hug from me, and know that I'll hold you in my prayers.

Poor thing.
I am a HUGE believer in natural medicines now! I have seen them do miracles.
I found this somewhere:
Cataracts

Pat Lazarus states the B-15 eye drops used twice daily "will dissolve most early cataracts," and about 30% of advanced ones.

Lazarus recommends vitamin E and selenium in addition, and stresses the need for a preservative-free diet.

Wendell Belfield (whom is very highly recommended and known) recommends high amounts of vitamin C, plus E (300 IU for a large dog), selenium (50 mcg), and vitamin A (20,000 IU a day).
Optimal treatment is begun intramuscularly (by injection) and continued at home by mouth.

Anitra Frazier uses 250 mg of vitamin C per meal for cats, with 100 IU vitamin E a day for 2 weeks (at that time, reduce to 400 IU of E per week); she also stresses a high quality diet with the daily supplements.

Go to your local health food store. The vitamins at Walmart and your pet store ar not as strong, they are more diluted.
