I know someone who has a non-ped whippet with one eye, she went on to be a national bend champion Good luck with your dog, i'm sure he will be fine. Quote Link to post
Tyla 3,179 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I have a dog here who did the exact same thing, had some very expensive surgery and they managed to save some of the sight in the eye. After the post op lay up he couldnt strike for toffee but within a few nights out he learnt to compensate and to see him work now you would never know Quote Link to post
rebel2009 20 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Hi [bANNED TEXT] I had a half x bullgrey he had a bang to the head off a train and it sent him blind in 1 eye it took him a while to get used to it but after a few outing and getting used to it I could slip him on things at hundred yard and he was ok at that distance so my opinion [bANNED TEXT] is you shouldn't have a problem atb and happy christmas Quote Link to post
