Dog Cataract Help Needed
Posted on 11/26/19 at 10:22 am

10 year old rescue recently developed diabetes. After about 6 months of twice daily insulin shots it appears that she has developed cataracts. Google research shows that dogs with diabetes almost always develop cataracts and may become blind in both eyes within 9 months. We've made an appointment with LSU Vet Center (who actually have vet ophthalmologists on staff) for a visit.
There's a ton of eye drops online claiming that they can reverse cataracts without the need for surgery.
Anyone have any experience with this? Any info would be appreciated

I don’t have any advice for you on the cataracts but I will say that any serious medical issue we have had we go to LSU
We like our vet for everyday issues / shots but LSU has been able to figure out / fix issues our vet couldn’t

Eye doc here just not for animals for people...
There is currently nothing to reverse cataract formation it's all snake oil. There is something in early stages of FDA clinical trials for cataract reversal but it's a ways off. Right now your only option is cataract surgery which is expensive

He will be fine and learn to live with it. We had a dog when I was younger get cataracts, and lived until he was 12. Still ran around the yard on his own and everything. They learn to pick up on shadows to see. I think paying to reverse cataracts in a dog is a horrible use of money, but that’s just me.

you need to first get a proper diagnosis . Our 11 year old pup has developed Nuclear sclerosis.
