Dog - SARD - Sudden Accute Retinal Disorder - Treatment Options?
by Mike/Pam
(Plainfield, N.J.)
Connor, our male 6 1/2 year old boxer, has just been diagnosed with SARD (Sudden Accute Retinal Disorder). Right now, he's probably 80% blind and degrading quickly.
Are there ANY treatment options that may either slow this process or help him in some way to prevent total blindness?
His diet is pretty balanced. He eats Merrick dry kibble. He's had an issue where his stomach produces too much bile and we were told by the vet to add cheese (usually a mild shredded cheese) with his Merrick to help neutralize this bile issue.
Please help?! Thanks! Mike
