I adopted a senior pug during the lockdowns in 2020, and at the time he was already deaf and partially blind.
In the past couple days, it’s become apparent that he may be fully blind.
He has been looking very lost around the house, standing around instead of exploring the house and doing his usual routine. He came to us well trained, could scratch on the door to notify us it was potty time. Recently he seems scared to walk and find his way around.
He still has a healthy appetite and can find his way to our couch to hang out at our feet, so I’m hoping he will adjust and won’t be sad or afraid of his newfound darkness.
I’ve tried researching this but haven’t found any tips on how to help blind & deaf dogs find a routine and pathway to the backyard to do his business.
Can anyone help?
