and your dog. I don't know about the disease symptoms, but our dog was nearly deaf and completely blind due to age for a few years before she passed away at 16 years. She was a border collie, very smart, it was a slow process and she adapted very well to changes. I would tap the side of her head, her side, back side, she would follow me to her food bowl, go outside, she always loved going on car rides, even if just around the block. We developed systems that she could understand. We took her on car rides constantly that last year. She enjoyed life and not being able to see didn't stop her. She never lost her ability to smell, so she always knew where we were. I hope/know you will be able to help your dog adjust to their new life.
