My grandparents dog (RIP) was blind most his life. Did just fine. You just had to watch him and keep him out of rooms he was used to. Also the kitchen table. He would get under it and keep bumping into the all the legs.

Had a dog that got hit by a car and lost his right eye.
He was still a great dog, and did everything he used to. Only probs he had were that he had probs catching things (frisbee, ball, etc) in the air due to lack of depth perception, and he would always walk on your right, to keep his good eye to you. If you walked too close to a building/tree/post/etc he would run into it, so we learned to give him room. Loved that dog, best one I've ever owned. |

what about a 2nd opinion from another vet? I would try the drops first and see if he is uncomfortable and then reevaluate.

I think option 3 is the most viable since he will be comfortable in 2 or 3 days as opposed to enduring a few months of pain.

Also keep "quality of life" in your decision. Since the dog is already 15, removal may be the best option.

I would say remove the eye, the dog will have a much better life without the pain of going through the meds etc. He will also be just as happy as before and will continue to provide love and affection even if he is cyclops. We are the ones that get hung up on it, be it people, or animals. If you were to loose a limb you would adapt to it, and work with what you have, the dog will do the same.
Even if money were no issue and I were rich I would still say remove the eye.

I am so sorry Dear! I would also say remove the eye. At 15 it is all about making them comfortable and that sounds like the best way.
