Hoot is only 5 years old and lost his first eye at about 4 years. We thought it was a injury due to a fight, he is a JRT. When the 2nd eye started to look white I took him to an eye specialist and she said he had glaucoma. She said it is fairly common in JRT’s. I have had 10 of the little buggers in the last 12 years an the is the first to have that I hope he is the last. He can do pretty much everything he could do with sight, he has even figured a new way to play ball. He's good!

So he’s been blind for a while - from before the eye was removed?

I’ve noticed that dogs, unless they are in pain, adapt to being disabled better than people.
