RussBoy 77 Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Right lads looking for a bit of advice. Got a lurcher pup here, has burst ulcer in 1 eye, vet says he will go blind in that eye and should adjust to using only 1 eye and says speaking from his experience he will still make a good working dog. He is going to be a working dog, do I keep him and hope he can still graft with the 1 eye or should he be sent to a pet home? Quote Link to post

RussBoy 77 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Thanks lads, putting my mind at rest a little. Don't want to get rid of him as he a real well built pup, built for speed Quote Link to post
trigger2 3,152 Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 bit of bad news for the pup that. on the plus side it is only a pup and it should adapt easy enough and fast enough to only having vision from one eye. as far as weather or not you should keep the pup then thats entirely upto you.
