Night before last he went blind. Noticed his eyes were completely red when
they used to be brown. I took him to the vet yesterday and the blood test
showed he had no platelets in his blood. The vet said his eyes were full
of
blood. Small spots of blood on the tip of his tongue. The vet also said
his blood pressure was around 200/100.
My dog is about 12 years old and up till now had always been healthy.
This
all comes as a shock to me. Has anybody ever heard of an affliction such
as
this? The vet recommends putting him to sleep because the problem will
only
get worse and because he's an outside dog he won't cope with being blind
to
well.
Thanks,
Dave
