SARDS in dogs

[Doody]

SARDS is Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration Syndrome. I thought you might be interested in this article that is in our student newspaper right now. This disease claims the sight of 2000-4000 dogs each year. The article is about a local dog named Bob that just one day started bumping into everything as if he couldn't see, and sure enough, he couldn't! And how a vet helped him. It has a video of a dog trying to navigate a room who has SARDS and then a video of Bob after his treatment, successfully navigating the room. Awwwww, bless their little hearts!!!! http://media.www.iowastatedaily.com/media/storage/paper818/news/2007/04/30/News/Ames-Pioneers.Sight.Restoration-2887019.shtml

is this related to the pet food? i have heard of pets going blind from the poisoned food and Lucy had more sight problems afterwards and ear problems. it seemed like she was near blind and near deaf when we brought her home. Thankfully, and miraculously, she is doing so much better now! I dont want to jinx her but it really is a blessing she is with us. We were one of the lucky ones I suppose.
