[Dailydrool] bassets, noses and glaucoma

[Reed and Becky Pomeroy]

I must agree wholeheartedly that bassets navigate their world with their
noses,not their eyes, and they subsequantly adapt veery rapidly and well
to blindness.  Many years ago when our pet store basset went blind
with little or not ill effects, our vet told us it is not universal in
dogs.  He had an Old English Sheepdog client who went blind and was
nearly helpless.  My niece's siberian Husky recently lost an eye to
glaucoma - I need to remind m yself to tell he that Kiya may not adapt as
easily as our hounds.
