    Tips For The Dog Owner Who Is Loosing Their Eyesight (Part 2)

    - If you have no one who can take you and your dog to the veterinarian, find out if there is someone in your vicinity who provides taxi service for your veterinary trips. A pet-sitter or pet care professional also may have such a service. Check the Yellow Pages of your phone directory under Pets or Pet-sitters. Inquire at local pet stores if none are listed in the telephone directory.

    - Some veterinarians make house calls, so, if transportation is a problem for you, find a veterinarian who will come to your home.

    - If you must give your dog medication, ask for it in pill form so that you don't have to measure dosages in a dropper. Place one hand over your dog's head and open his mouth with your thumb and forefinger. Pop the pill in his mouth with your other hand.

    - If the medicine comes in a capsule and must be divided, open the capsule and pour the white powder onto a dark tile or board, for contrast, that you've placed on your kitchen counter. Divide the powder into parts with a razor blade. Sprinkle the portion over your dog's food and mix it in.

    - To tell if your dog is sick, pay attention to his activity level and touch his nose. A dry nose along with diminished activity may indicate that your dog isn't feeling well.

    - If blindness or vision problems prevent you from functioning, investigate obtaining a guide dog. A guide dog may be your link to the world and help you live a full and normal life.

    - To clean up your dog's wastes, keep him on leash. If your dog stops, run your hand down his back. If his back is curved and he is hunched over, you know that he is moving his bowels. Stand still and, based on where your dog is standing, follow along his back toward the tail to determine where the deposit is. Insert your hand in a plastic bag, pick up the wastes, and pull them inside the bag. Tie the bag and throw it in the trash.

    - To keep your dog from causing you to trip, teach him to go to a special place when he is not with you. Show your dog the place and give a command. Keep the command consistent and repeat the process until your dog knows to go to his special place when you say the command. Praise your dog each time he follows directions. Put one or two of your dog's special chew toys in the place to make the spot more appealing.
