Navigating Senior Years - Update
My sweet 12-year-old Lady that was diagnosed with Diabetes in early January. The vet warned me that cataracts could form quickly, and unfortunately, that’s what happened.
Early last week, I noticed them developing in both eyes, and by Friday, she was blind. It’s been an adjustment - she’s tripped over a stray pillow, tried to eat from an empty spot on the floor while I was holding her bowl, and she’s had a few other little mishaps. It feels like having a toddler again, making sure everything is safe and accessible, especially near stairs.
I can tell she is a little confused at times, but overall, my sweet Lady is adapting well to this new chapter.
Tomorrow, she goes back to the vet for her third glucose curve test. I’m hoping she handles it ok. The good news is that, despite losing her sight, her diabetes treatment has already improved her quality of life. ❤️
